Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolPieter De Vlieger is a senior applied scientist and PhD economist based in San Francisco with 13 years of experience applying econometrics, industrial organization, and labor economics to real-world marketplace problems. At Uber he designs and measures real-time driver pricing and communication systems, building spend-efficiency frameworks and integrating pricing levers into unified algorithmic models. His background includes rigorous causal inference, equilibrium modeling, and synthetic control methods from academic work at the University of Michigan, giving him a strong track record in both measurement and algorithmic decisioning. He combines hands-on engineering (Python, JS, data pipelines, D3 visualizations) with formal economic modeling, and has translated academic techniques like bunching and dynamic RD into product-facing experiments. Notably, he has experience bridging research and production—designing measurement frameworks that survive in real-time systems while influencing cross-functional product strategy.
