Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Richfield is a Senior Data Scientist and technical leader with 12 years of experience building production-ready ML systems across startups, enterprise, and academia. He combines deep quantitative training (PhD in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering) with hands-on engineering—authoring internal Python libraries, Streamlit/Docker prototypes, and Poetry-based deployment templates to standardize model production. At companies from Microsoft and Getty Images to Shelf Engine and Glue he’s led cross-functional teams, launched greenfield recommendation and causal models, and delivered millions in savings via controlled experiments. He also teaches data analytics at Northeastern, bridging industry practice and pedagogy, and has a track record of scaling testing and CI/CD practices (400+ unit tests) to dramatically reduce production incidents. Notably comfortable moving between biology-scale data projects and business-facing forecasting, he’s as fluent in SQL/Postgres and Pandera checks as he is in mentoring and roadmapping for long-term data strategy.
