Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmit Shkolnik is a seasoned data scientist and NLP specialist with 12+ years delivering end-to-end AI and machine learning systems across startups, government agencies and enterprises. He designs and implements production-grade solutions—from architecture and hands-on coding to MLOps and cloud deployments on AWS, Azure and GCP. His work spans domains as diverse as defense, biomedical, communications, HR and intelligent search, and includes leadership roles such as CTO at MoodKnight where AI was used to detect teen mental distress in social networks. A pragmatic consultant and team guide, he combines research activities (paper writing) with operational experience in large-scale text processing, classification, clustering and search engines. Not obvious from titles: he pairs deep technical breadth (kernel/OS experience, RPA and video analytics) with a longstanding entrepreneurial streak dating back to co-founding a tourism company. Based in Jerusalem, Amit is comfortable moving projects from prototype to robust, scalable production.
