Richard Paul
Frascona II

Product leader with an analytical foundation in behavioral science and 8+ years building data platforms and operational systems where precision and business outcomes are inseparable. I'm drawn to complex, ambiguous environments where the challenge is imposing structure on messy data and translating it into systems organizations can rely on for high-stakes decisions.

I build data systems that turn messy inputs into reliable decisions.

About

My career has a consistent theme that isn’t obvious from industry labels.I take systems where the data is messy, the stakes are high, and the structure doesn’t yet exist, and I build the infrastructure that makes them reliable and trusted.

That foundation started in graduate school. My M.A. in Experimental Psychology at Florida Atlantic University focused on data collection methodology, statistical validity, and what it means for a measurement to be reliable. My thesis examined how methodology shapes the conclusions we draw. That insight continues to shape how I think about systems and the data they produce.

It shaped how I approached property data early in my career, how I built valuation infrastructure supporting a $40M institutional credit facility, and how I design data systems and governance controls today. When I evaluate a system, I’m not asking whether it works, I’m asking whether the team can trust it completely.

My work sits at the intersection of product, data, and operations. I build internal platforms and decision systems that translate complex, messy inputs into structured outputs the business can act on with confidence.

Outside of work, I spend time woodworking, where the same principles apply. Precision matters, and every piece must fit or the system fails.
