Top SchoolMark Whitfield is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience blending data science, deep learning, and production engineering at organizations including Google and The New York Times. Trained as a physical chemist (MSc, University of Chicago), he leverages rigorous quantitative foundations to build automated, scalable ML systems—previously delivering Spark-based propensity-score frameworks and model/feature management tooling for education analytics. He has a strong background in causal inference and intervention science, turning complex institutional data into actionable experiments and productionized pipelines.
