Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Brilleman is a Principal Data Scientist specializing in experimentation platforms and applied statistics, with a decade of experience bridging academic biostatistics and production ML tooling at SEEK. He has led the design, procurement and rollout of scalable experimentation stacks (including LaunchDarkly and Statsig) and previously architected an in-house A/B testing platform, working daily in Python and AWS while applying rigorous statistical methods like group sequential designs. Trained with a PhD in Biostatistics and an MSc in Medical Statistics, Sam’s background spans survival analysis, joint longitudinal–survival models and Bayesian methods, and he has contributed open-source R/Stan tooling for clinical-style models. He thrives as a technical contributor in small collaborative teams, combining deep statistical research with DevOps/MLOps practices (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD) to accelerate experiment velocity and reliable product decisions. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate complex adaptive-trial methodology into pragmatic platform features that scale across enterprise experimentation programs.
