Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Winter is a Senior Data Scientist with a decade of experience translating complex data into delightful, usable products—most recently at Snowflake after seven years leading data strategy and delivery at IDEO. He holds a PhD in Complex Systems from Northwestern, where he built high-throughput experimental pipelines and won competitive research funding, and he combines that rigor with hands-on ML, LLM, and systems engineering. At IDEO he scoped and shipped 5+ data-powered products, led craft cohorts, and built an LLM-powered troubleshooting expert using RAG, vector DBs, and proprietary ontologies that outperformed GPT-4 on its task. Comfortable moving 0-to-1, he pairs mixed-methods research and rapid prototyping to de-risk innovation and embed data into design practice. Known for mentoring and community-building, he also brings deep experience in productionizing semantic search, knowledge management, and constrained engineering solutions for industry clients. Based in Oakland, he’s driven by seeing people enjoy the things he helps design—evident in long-lived client tools and enduring internal programs he created.
