Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Rodriguez is a Senior Data Scientist and economist with a decade of experience translating theory into production-grade methods at Meta, Roblox, and academia. He blends expertise in NLP, network analysis, and causal inference with hands-on engineering—building R and Python open-source tools, production metrics, and A/B experiments that scale across large social systems. A former founder who bootstrapped an LLM-powered startup to accelerate qualitative research, he couples product instincts with rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship across economics, cognitive science, and political science. Comfortable communicating to both specialists and general audiences, he has taught at NYU and mentored students while publishing novel methodological frameworks. Multilingual and globally experienced, he brings a culturally attuned perspective shaped by living and working in Venezuela, the U.S., England, and Germany.
