Probabilistic systems for GTM, underwriting, and risk

GTM and Sales Engineer @ Navigara | UC Berkeley Statistics · San Francisco, California

Theo Douwes is a UC Berkeley Statistics graduate (B.A., 2019–2023) based in San Francisco. He builds outreach automation for GTM teams, quantitative underwriting tools for multifamily real estate, and probabilistic decision systems spanning Bayesian/MLE inference, prediction-market pricing, and risk-aware decision frameworks.

He taught 400+ students as Head Instructor of Berkeley’s largest DeCal (STAT 198), presented research on algorithmic bias in hiring at Oxford’s Map the System competition, and managed operations for 30 rental units while modeling multifamily acquisitions totaling $5.88M.

Interests include meditation, travel, and practical AI/ML applications. Skills marked as basics or concepts are adjacent and marketable — not claims of years of production ownership.

Experience

GTM engineering, multifamily underwriting, and independent quant practice — each chapter built on documented outcomes.

  1. Feb 2026 — Present

    San Francisco, CA

    GTM and Sales Engineer

    Navigara

    • Designed and implemented shared outreach automation for SDR, marketing, and sales — sequencing, handoffs, and stage visibility.
    • Documented playbooks, stage definitions, and messaging templates so workflows were repeatable.
    • Supported Mag 7 lead development using industry connections, research, and outreach tooling (no claimed closed deals).
    • Advised GTM strategy from competitor-landscape trade-offs; triaged tooling issues cross-functionally.
  2. Jan 2024 — Sep 2024

    Oakland, CA

    Quantitative Real Estate Analyst

    Piedmont Realty LLC

    • Structured and negotiated 2 multifamily acquisitions totaling $5.88M; $350K+ purchase-price savings via CMA and Excel financial modeling.
    • Built Excel + R Shiny holding-period models (rates, amortization, cost segregation, taxes, appreciation) plus owner-ready underwriting packs.
    • Owned P&L for 30 rental units — tenants, owners, contractors, municipal compliance — and maintained high occupancy.
    • Tracked rent rolls, tickets, and contractor spend in Excel; translated models into plain-language owner updates.
  3. Nov 2021 — Dec 2023

    Remote / Berkeley, CA

    Quantitative Analyst

    Independent Practice

    • Built proprietary analytics software using MLE and regression for behavioral patterns from small samples.
    • Applied Bayesian updating for sparse data with documented assumptions; used Git/GitHub for reproducible experiments.
    • Applied game theory and risk-management rules (position sizing, stop criteria) in probabilistic live settings; funded university expenses systematically.
