About mattan

I’m a senior data scientist with a background in computer science and political science and over a decade of experience across academic and industry settings.In recent years, my work has centered on building and shipping applied machine learning systems — developing models, designing features, and contributing to production training and inference pipelines in close partnership with engineering.I’m particularly drawn to problems that require both strong technical execution and careful framing. I enjoy bringing structure to ambiguous questions, mentoring others on modeling decisions, and ensuring the systems we build are both rigorous and practical.I value clarity, sound reasoning, and durable impact.
