Summary
Scott Pitz is a data scientist with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, geospatial analytics, and custom field instrumentation to environmental and societal challenges. He has built end-to-end ML products for flood-risk assessment and city-scale computer vision tools to prioritize infrastructure interventions, and currently applies those skills at Noblis. Scott’s PhD work combined IoT sensors, high-precision greenhouse gas analyzers, and bespoke hardware to quantify tiny tree emissions—bringing hands-on experimental design into data-driven modeling. He excels at turning heterogeneous public datasets into unified pipelines and delivering uncertainty-aware metrics that clients can operationalize. Based in Reston, VA, Scott bridges academic rigor and production engineering, with a track record of translating complex environmental measurements into actionable insights. An uncommon blend of field-built instrumentation and cloud ML experience makes him adept at solving problems where sensors, models, and policy intersect.
