Heya! I’m Adit.

I’m a climber, photographer, national park enthusiast, and avid roadtripper. To-date I've worked in data science, software development, venture capital, and marketing. Across all that is a shared love of making thoughtfully designed products and brands with great people.
I graduated from the University of Chicago in Dec. 2019 with a B.A. in Economics and a specialization in Data Science. I'm halfway through my Master’s in Computer Science at Georgia Tech with a specialization in Machine Learning.

Data Scientist and Economist @ Hopper

Mar. 2020 - Apr. 2023

  • Data Scientist: Owned the pricing of Hopper's Flight Disruption Guarantee, an industry-leading fintech product enabling travellers to instantly rebook on any airline or receive a refund when their flight gets disrupted (delays, cancellations, or missed connections). I worked on the full data science lifecycle, handling everything from data ETL and integrity, to exploratory analysis and modelling, all the way to model productionization and deployment.
  • Economist: Identified trends in travel demand and pricing across Hopper's airline, hotel, and rental car data. My goal was to help travellers save the most on their next trip. I had the amazing opportunity to work with talented travel journalists at outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NPR's Marketplace. I did interviews over phone, radio, and broadcast TV.
