Top SchoolWilliam Lu is a data scientist and AI engineer with 8 years of experience building production-ready ML solutions and analytics, currently applying his skills at OppFi in Los Angeles. He combines an MS in Applied Data Science from USC and a Math BS from NYU with hands-on experience deploying ETL pipelines, monitoring model drift, and improving business outcomes—his pricing model work at AXS contributed roughly $100k in incremental fall revenue. His background spans applied research (fast solvers and trace reconstruction) and applied social-impact projects, including classifying misinformation from over a million images at USC-ISl. Comfortable moving models from research to production, he’s skilled in Python, MySQL, Snowflake, and Looker and has a knack for translating complex math into actionable business metrics.
