Senior🎓
Top SchoolShuowen Chen is a quantitative manager who translates econometric theory into production-ready models that shape business decisions at Capital One. With a PhD in economics from Boston University and nine years of experience, he builds and operationalizes account-level forecasting and backtesting pipelines that materially improved accuracy and cut data processing time by half. His work spans damage estimation in antitrust cases to CCAR monitoring for international portfolios, and he has a track record of speeding large-scale computations from 15 hours to about 2 through pragmatic engineering. A practiced communicator and mentor, he routinely delivers firm-wide talks and runs reading groups on causal inference while bringing a “Type-III econometrician” rigor from research into applied product settings. Based in McLean, VA, he combines academic depth in econometrics with hands-on data engineering to drive measurable business impact.
