Senior🎓
Top SchoolRavi Shekhar is a Senior Data Scientist with 11 years of experience applying machine learning and large-scale data engineering to cybersecurity, retail, and climate science. Based in New York, he has built production ML systems for bot and fraud detection at HUMAN, designed GCP-backed pricing and demand forecasting pipelines for Macy’s, and processed multi-TB climate datasets during a Ph.D. in Geophysics at Yale. He combines deep statistical modeling and time-series expertise with hands-on production engineering—shipping near-real-time detection and recommendation services. Comfortable interfacing with product and business stakeholders, he’s also mentored PhD-level data scientists and influenced cross-functional decisions during crises like COVID-driven retail shifts. An uncommon strength is his physics-to-production trajectory: applying high-performance simulation and scientific-data workflows to commercial ML problems.
