San Antonio, Texas, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYered Pita-juarez is a Senior Data Scientist specializing in financial risk modeling with 11 years of quantitative and research experience spanning genomics, biostatistics, and high-dimensional data analysis. Trained at Harvard (PhD, Biostatistics) and with research fellowships at Broad Institute, Dana-Farber, and Beth Israel Deaconess, he has developed and deployed advanced statistical models for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics that uncovered insights in COVID-19, multiple myeloma, and liver disease. Now applying that rigor to USAA’s risk analytics, he blends deep domain expertise in multi-omics integration and pathway analysis with practical model development, validation, and documentation. Known for leading multidisciplinary teams and publishing in top journals like Nature, he brings a rare combination of academic pedigree and production-focused modeling. An interesting facet: his transition from cutting-edge genomics to financial risk shows a pattern of translating complex, high-dimensional science into actionable, auditable models for real-world decisions.
