Summary
Yufeng Chen is a Chief Data Scientist with a Ph.D. and 11 years of experience building analytics and risk systems across fintech, healthcare, and payments. He has led teams at TrustPoint.ai, Flywire, Simplee, Prosper, and PayPal/EBay to design production-grade scoring models, pricing frameworks, and analytical data warehouses that drive lending, billing, and fraud decisions. Known for turning large, real-time datasets into actionable insight, he combines machine learning, A/B testing, and distributed computing to improve onboarding, payment, impersonation, and account-takeover risk controls. He also architects BI and visualization stacks (Superset, Looker, Sisense, Tableau) to democratize analytics for sales, customer success, and finance. Unusually for a data leader, his background in computational physics and postdoctoral research gives him a rigorous modeling lens that he applies to operational problems like construction lending health scores and propensity-to-pay systems. Based in Zhejiang and reachable at yufengchenus@gmail.com, he blends deep technical craft with cross-functional leadership to deliver measurable business impact.
