Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Gaudio is a post-doctoral fellow and machine learning researcher with 14 years of engineering experience, currently developing novel ML approaches to analyze lung and heart sounds at Johns Hopkins' Laboratory for Computational Audio Perception. His background blends rigorous PhD work in explainable deep learning and medical image preprocessing across Carnegie Mellon and Porto with hands-on production engineering—shipping scalable data science platforms, real-time streaming systems, and cloud tooling. He has practical DevOps and back-end chops demonstrated through contributions to high-profile open-source projects like Vowpal Wabbit and the EC2 cluster toolkit StarCluster, improving build systems and cloud cluster reliability. Prior roles span founding a makerspace initiative, leading data science at Sailthru where his systems ran millions of models daily, and building patent-backed product deployments for image processing. Comfortable moving between research and production, he brings a rare combination of auditory biomedical signal expertise, distributed systems experience, and a musician’s attention to temporal detail.
