Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Wills is a Senior Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and 11 years of experience building production ML systems and high-performance data platforms. He has led forecasting, classification, and detection projects across companies from Stitch Fix to Abnormal Security and now EquipmentShare, delivering large reductions in forecasting error, missed-attack rates, and processing costs. Comfortable in both research and production, he bridges theoretical work (publications in Physical Review B and computational statistics) with pragmatic ML ops, graph algorithms, and Spark-based pipelines processing tens of terabytes. A polyglot practitioner who prefers Python, Scala, and Emacs, he combines rigorous modeling and optimization skills with hands-on platform engineering to take prototypes into scalable, efficient services. Based in Ithaca, NY, he’s as likely to improve a forecasting metric as he is to redesign the ML architecture that serves it.
