Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDorian Goldman is a Staff Applied Scientist with a decade of experience applying rigorous math and causal inference to real-world product and marketplace problems, currently modernizing risk systems at Coinbase while also leading AI-driven insulin delivery work as Chief Scientist at InsuLearn. He previously led technical strategy at Lyft, where his causal-effect libraries and novel long-term surrogate models produced company-wide metrics like "ride quality" and informed national optimization and competitive turnarounds. A former Herchel Smith Fellow and PhD-trained mathematician, he blends deep PDE/variational analysis with hands-on ML engineering—producing patented algorithms for shared pickup optimization and shipping production libraries used across large teams. He teaches applied data science at Columbia, favoring mathematically rigorous but practical courses, and has a track record of turning theoretical tools into measurable business impact. Notably, his career bridges pure mathematics and product ML, enabling solutions that account for network effects and long-term causal outcomes rather than short-term proxies.
