Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Linton is a data scientist with 11 years of experience applying statistical rigor and production-grade data engineering to federal and defense programs across Washington, D.C. He combines a strong academic foundation (MS in Mathematical Statistics, 3.97 GPA) with hands-on work in Databricks, PostgreSQL, R, Qlik, and DevOps-style ML deployment on DoD and State Department contracts. Peter has moved between roles as a statistician, analyst, and developer—designing sampling methodologies for payment integrity, building Certify backend reports, and creating cybersecurity monitoring pipelines—so he bridges research-grade methods and operational analytics. He is adept at translating complex requirements for SES-level stakeholders while managing sprint cycles and dashboard UX for decision-makers. An understated strength is his background in experimental design and tolerance-interval computations from national lab work, which informs robust model validation in high-stakes environments.
