Cody Peterson is a Product Manager with six years of experience building data and ML platforms, blending hands-on engineering instincts (BS in Electrical Engineering from Rice) with product leadership at Microsoft, dbt Labs, Voltron Data, and now Ascend.io. He specializes in modern data interfaces and developer experiences—at dbt he helped launch Python models that expanded the platform beyond SQL, and at Microsoft he led MLOps and Azure ML product work including data drift and improved developer docs. Cody is also an active open-source contributor to the Ibis project, where he implemented Delta Lake read/to support across backends like DuckDB, Polars, and DataFusion. Uncommonly for a PM, he pairs production product work with low-level engineering and even has hands-on experience building real-time computation and sensor-driven prototypes for medical devices. He focuses on bridging data analytics and data science ecosystems to make complex workflows more accessible and reliable for teams.
