Alan Patterson is a serial founder and hands-on AI leader with three successful ML-driven exits and over three decades applying machine learning to real-world problems across industries from advertising and retail to healthcare and engineering. Currently CEO of BeyondMath, he is building a foundational physics AI to transform engineering and design, while remaining an active coder and researcher on bleeding-edge ML projects. He has led applied science and knowledge-graph initiatives at HomeX and eBay, and earlier helped scale fraud detection and ML platforms at Google after his startup was acquired. Known for marrying pragmatic product focus with deep technical expertise—from deep learning and probabilistic methods to semantic technologies and signal processing—he builds teams and systems that deliver measurable customer impact. Less obvious: he pairs enterprise-scale architecture experience with low-level C++ signal-processing roots, enabling rare fluency across research prototypes and production-grade, high-throughput systems.
