I’m a data scientist, economist, and computer scientist working at the intersection of data, systems, and decision-making. I’m currently finishing a PhD in Economic Theory.
My work spans machine learning, reinforcement learning, and applied econometrics, with a focus on building practical solutions to complex, real-world problems. I’ve worked across both academia and industry, developing models, systems, and tools that connect theory with implementation.
This blog is a digital garden — a space to think, experiment, and document ideas in progress. Here you’ll find notes, prototypes, and explorations on topics like AI, platform economics, data systems, and computational methods.
Everything here is evolving.
What this site is
cobbdouglaz is a digital garden and technical portfolio. The garden is where ideas live before they’re finished — which is most of the time. The projects section documents things I’ve built, with the full arc: problem, solution, results.
The name is a wordplay on the Cobb-Douglas production function. Economists will get it immediately.
Interests
