Top SchoolMatt Mills is a Staff Data Scientist with 11 years of experience applying statistical and machine learning methods across Fortune 100 finance, fintech startups, and credit bureaus to drive high-impact lending and risk decisions. He has led teams, hired senior data scientists, and managed intern programs while building production-grade models and pipelines using Python, scikit-learn, XGBoost, PySpark, Databricks and SQL.
