Scott Guerin is a Staff Software Engineer and data scientist in San Francisco who leverages a two-decade foundation in neuroscience and psychology to build statistically rigorous, production-ready analytics and ML systems. At Google he transitioned from senior data science roles into staff engineering, applying causal inference, experimentation, and multivariate methods to large-scale product problems. His background decoding neural data with hundreds of thousands of features informs a practical strength for extracting signal from extremely noisy, high-dimensional datasets and mentoring teams on reproducible workflows. Scott combines academic rigor (PhD-level neurocognitive research and NIH-funded postdoctoral work) with product-focused impact across industry roles at Postmates and Google, and he pairs deep statistics with software engineering to move models from prototype to validated deployment.
