SEEKING WORK | Data Scientist / Consultant | Canada/Remote Worldwide

I'm a data scientist with over 20 years of experience specializing in solving hair on fire problems. I thrive on gnarly problems AI can't complete even if walked through the problem step-by-step. Often it involves getting hands on or talking with staff to find the data that's really needed.

My past work includes:

   - Saving a German automaker from lemon law recalls.
   - Helping a major cloud vendor predict server failures to enable load shedding.
   - Real-time on demand routing logistics work .
   - Airline flight delay forecasting.
   - Oil & Gas forecasting.
   - Shipping piracy risk.
   - Wound identification and classification.
   - Revenue optimization, persona identification and dynamic "risk-on/risk-off" risk management for ARM.
I'm currently working on spec work with criminology typologies of victim disposal in serious crime. The tigger for this is the Justo Smoker murder of Linda Stoltzfoos, Police spent months searching in the wrong places, when a good behavioural model would have shortened the search time signifcantly. I'm unlikely to get it in the hands of law enforcement, but I like solving a good problem.

Things I'm unwilling to work on:

   - Gambling.
   - Ads/Surveillance.
   - Payday loans/rent-to-own.
Get in touch if you have a really difficult problem you're trying to solve. Email in profile.

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Django, FastAPI, Python, React, AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, ChatGPT), Roku BrightScript, Linux, AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Ant Media Server (HLS/RTMP streaming, 24/7 channels), video pipelines, automation

Résumé/CV: https://www.ryanvinson.com

Email: info@ryanvinson.com

Who I am: Fractional CTO with 25+ years of experience building and scaling products across multiple generations of the web. I’m often brought in to turn ideas into working systems quickly, or to stabilize and evolve existing platforms.

I’ve led teams, hired engineers, defined architecture, and stayed hands-on in the code. My work spans AI-driven platforms, streaming media systems, and full-stack web applications. I’m comfortable operating at both the executive strategy level and deep in implementation.

Known for being a “Swiss army knife” technologist who can bridge product, engineering, and execution without overengineering.

What I am looking for: Part-time Fractional CTO or Head/Director of Technology roles.

Best fit: startups or growing companies that need someone to own technical direction, ship quickly, and make practical decisions without unnecessary complexity.

Strong interest in AI-powered products, media/streaming, and content platforms, but open to any project where execution speed and clarity matter.
