Summary
Matthias Kaeding is a Senior Data Scientist based in Barcelona with nine years of experience applying machine learning, causal inference, and experimentation to production problems at HP and research institutions. He combines a PhD in Economics and an M.S. in Statistics to bridge rigorous causal methods and scalable model deployment, having built large-scale spatial data pipelines and location-allocation optimization tools at RWI. His background spans Bayesian nonparametrics, survival analysis, and simulation methods, which he leverages to design robust experiments and interpretable models for business impact. Comfortable moving models from research to serving, he focuses on dependable, auditable ML systems rather than one-off prototypes. An economist by training who codes like an engineer, he brings a rare mix of academic depth and production-first pragmatism.
