The eternal dance between the data and the model
Early in his career, Iyar realized that purely associative models cannot provide him with the answers to the questions he found most interesting.
This realization laid the groundwork for his search for methods that go beyond statistical summaries of the data.
What started as a lonely journey, led him to become a data science lead at his current company, where he fosters causal culture daily.
Iyar developed a framework that helps digital product companies make better decisions regarding their products at scale and at budget.
Here, causality is not just a concept, but a tool for change.
