Who Am I?

Bill Dusch is a certified expert data scientist who comes from physics PhD background. He is an entrepreneurial technology founder and former Chief AI Officer of Estimand. With five years of industry experience in data science and 11 years of programming experience, he is on a mission to transform how businesses use data and AI technologies.

During my undergrad at Stony Brook, I majored in biomedical engineering before switching to physics. Afterward, I obtained my PhD in physics at Penn State in 2018. In the last two years of my degree, I decided to shift to data science as a way to do the two things that I am passionate about - math and coding. After my degree was finished, I joined IBM and moved to Raleigh, NC. At IBM I had a significant amount of mentorship from technical executives such that not only was I well versed in data science techniques, but I became fluent in business and understood clearly the importance of linking technical ways of solving problems to business outcomes. It became my passion, leading me to learn decision intelligence - a way to link decision levers to business outcomes.

I want to continue doing this work wherever I go and use my vast expertise for good - so I started The Billistician to allow various people and businesses to leverage my expertise.

My work in the Billistician led to me converting a client to a full-time role for a time, as I became the Chief AI Officer of Estimand.

Industries I am interested in include biotech, education, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, material science, recruitment/retention, and technology, but I am open to other industries.
