Background

About Tyler Dial

Every day we make choices. I am interested in data science because I believe that empowering people and organizations to make choices informed by data can change the world. Organizations across the world are looking to use data to solve critical social problems that impact peoples lives. I want to help with that. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Data Science with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence at Northwestern University, where I’m deepening my expertise in causal inference, machine learning, and experimental design. My studies build on practical experience I've gained as a Fractional Data Scientist at Ampleo, where I consult with startups and growing companies to optimize pricing, improve marketing performance, and inform strategy through advanced analytics. Projects I've led have resulted in measurable business outcomes, including revenue growth, improved return on ad spend, and successful preparation for acquisition. At Socio, where I was recently promoted to Associate Data Scientist, I work at the intersection of econometrics, machine learning, and geospatial analysis to support nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. My role involves building statistical and predictive models, conducting rigorous program evaluations, and helping partners use data to scale their impact sustainably. We only work with social impact organizations, and we are deeply committed to making sure our work drives positive social change. Across all my work, I aim to bring technical rigor, clarity, and a collaborative mindset—because making data actionable isn’t just about models and metrics. It’s about listening, aligning with values, and empowering others to act with confidence.
