Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Ruiz is a multimedia data engineer and former award-winning sports journalist who blends advanced analytics (M.S. from Georgia Tech) with storytelling to turn complex sports and multimedia datasets into engaging, scalable content. With eight years of experience across newsrooms and product teams, he builds automated pipelines that ingest video, 3D assets, and Statcast-level data to produce immersive experiences for partners like Major League Baseball. He pairs hands-on Python/R data work and DevOps-style automation with open-source contributions to notable projects (including build and linting improvements for mpv and protocol updates in a Rust Minecraft client), demonstrating attention to code quality and cross-version compatibility. Based in Baltimore, he’s as comfortable explaining pandemic-era public health trends to readers as he is architecting content workflows for mobile apps and social channels.
