Top SchoolStephyn Butcher is an experienced data scientist and engineering leader with 14+ years building practical, production-ready analytics and personalization systems that drive business decisions. He blends deep statistical judgment with modern ML and engineering chops—designing entity resolution, recommendation engines, and LLM integrations that prioritize data quality and domain understanding over flashy algorithms. His work has scaled to millions of daily users at LivingSocial, supported epidemiological research at NIH, and informed enterprise expert-matching and search at GLG. As an adjunct lecturer at Johns Hopkins, he translates industry problems into graduate curriculum, keeping both his teaching and technical practice tightly coupled to real-world needs. Unusually for a data scientist, he also co-produced a Broadway show, reflecting entrepreneurial risk-taking and a capacity to manage complex, cross-disciplinary projects. He seeks remote roles focused on rigorous analysis, experimentation, and operational insight.
