Aaron Beppu is a Staff ML Engineer in San Francisco with 13 years of experience building and scaling production ML and data systems across startups and large teams. He led performance and architectural improvements at Sift—speeding training pipelines up to 3x, redesigning prediction serving for live model routing, and implementing calibration and online accuracy tracking for delayed labels—and now applies that production-first mindset at Hyperscience. Deeply practical, he blends ML, data engineering, and typeful programming, contributing to open-source projects like plumatic/schema to improve declarative data validation in Clojure(Script). Aaron’s background in large-scale search and analytics at Etsy and A9 gives him a strong foundation in big-data pipelines and experiment-driven product work, and he often pairs technical migrations with organizational changes to reduce long-term debt.
