Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Chisholm is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer based in Sydney with 11 years of experience building ML systems from prototype to production across startups and scale-ups. He blends hands-on engineering, platform leadership and product-facing work—leading ML platform teams at harrison.ai and search/ML systems at Atlassian before joining Canva. He has a track record of founding and scaling ventures (Co-Founder of QuinAI, Head of Engineering at Sypht) and shipping document and radiology ML products that bridge research and customer needs. With a PhD in Computer Science and deep experience in production ML pipelines, he excels at turning ambiguous problems into operational, reliable services. Not obvious from titles: he routinely moves between CEO-facing product discussions and low-level systems design, making him equally comfortable with stakeholder strategy and debugging model deployment failures.
