Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Proctor is a data scientist with a Ph.D. in physics and a decade of experience turning complex scientific problems into production-ready data solutions. He combines deep expertise in computational physics, statistical modeling, and scalable data engineering—having built a PostgreSQL database from 150M+ taxi records and scraped/processed ~200GB of public data for credit-worthiness pipelines. His research produced a peer-reviewed breakthrough in random ferromagnet theory (Physical Review Letters) and involved parallelizing algorithms to cut processing time by 15x. Comfortable with low-level code (C, Fortran) and modern tooling (Python, Docker, Selenium), he bridges research rigor with practical deployment. Based in the Bronx, he’s actively seeking roles where mathematical intuition and data engineering meet hard, real-world questions. An uncommon strength is his track record of turning stalled theoretical problems into verifiable, reproducible solutions that scale.
