Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Rooy is a data scientist in New York with nine years of experience applying machine learning to real-world problems across media, urban analytics, and aerospace. He moved from CFD-driven aerodynamic shape optimization and race car design into building end-to-end ML pipelines that mine social signals for site selection and smart-city applications. At Spatial.ai he was an early technical hire who combined NLP, deep learning, spatial-temporal modeling, and custom AWS scraping to deliver production systems; he now builds data-driven features at Shutterstock. Comfortable with both research-grade tools (OpenFOAM, adjoint optimization) and production stacks (TensorFlow, scikit-learn, SQL, Elasticsearch), he brings a pragmatically scientific mindset to messy, spatially dependent data. Unusually, his background blends wind-tunnel validated engineering and publication-grade materials research with hands-on ML deployment experience.
