Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNathaniel Forde is a Staff Data Scientist based in Dublin with 11 years of experience applying causal inference, experimentation and statistical modelling to product and business problems. He has progressed from analytics and software roles into senior data science leadership at Personio after driving R&D work at CarTrawler and leading insights teams at Paddy Power Betfair. A contributor to the PyMC open-source project, Nathaniel blends rigorous probabilistic modelling with practical experimentation design to turn ambiguous questions into measurable outcomes. His academic background in mathematical logic and philosophy underpins a formal, principled approach to inference and problem framing that few data scientists bring to product analytics. Colleagues rely on him for clarity in complex causal questions and for shipping statistically sound experiments that scale across organisations.
