Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Hu is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience blending rigorous statistical modeling and scalable engineering to drive product and operational improvements in mobility and finance. Trained in Math of Computation & Statistics at UCLA and pursuing a master’s at Georgia Tech, he has led A/B experiments, time-series forecasting, and incentive/pricing analyses at DiDi that directly improved driver participation, order completion, and GMV. He pairs hands-on data engineering—building Spark/Hive pipelines and city-scale dashboards—with causal and machine learning methods (XGBoost/LightGBM) to turn complex signals into actionable strategy. An active full-stack open-source contributor, Scott authored caching and middleware enhancements for alova.js, showing a practical eye for performance and developer experience beyond core data science. Based in Los Angeles, he’s equally comfortable aligning cross-functional stakeholders and shipping productionized analytics that influence seasonal and city-level decisions.
