SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.
I'm a data scientist, I'm looking for hard problems to solve. Hair on fire "This is causing lemon-law recalls and we can't solve it."[1] type problems.
I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in automotive, tech, and other spaces. Recently I've been working with Oil & Gas - Production estimates, pricing, and things I'm not allowed to talk about.
I've worked on projects including LLMs, knowledge extraction, automotive part failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.
Get in touch. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Referals welcome. Email in profile.
[1] Yup. Done that. A few times.

Senior leader, staff-level generalist, ~10YoE, between startups, scaleups, and big tech. I build with a strong sense of ownership, product and business value, not just code. I seek out collaboration with non-engineering teams to understand the broader context, and I’m not fazed by legacy systems. I'll make them work, make them fast, and make them stable without defaulting to rewrites. Over the years, I’ve worked at companies of various sizes and stages, learning what scales and when to apply the right tools and patterns. I'm someone who can move an MVP from early traction to real scale, untangle and upgrade your legacy codebase, or help a team grow through better processes and technical guidance, without needing detailed instructions to get started. Looking for a senior/staff role. Especially interested in roles related to computer vision and SLAM, but always happy at a keyboard.vishalontheline

Did this the last few months and it led to some interesting conversations. So, let's try it again!
I've been in startups for decades and I'm looking for my next thing. You might know me from founding Salesloft, being MD at Techstars Atlanta, or my open source work on React Router, Redux, and the Tesla API. I'm hoping to join something where I can get back to building and making a big impact.
