Summary
Andy M is a product-minded CTO and machine learning engineering leader with 15+ years of experience building data-driven systems across education, fintech, and healthcare. He has scaled analytics and ML functions from early-stage startups to enterprise operations, notably cutting fraud false positives while identifying 90% of identity fraud at a top-20 US bank and launching a second SaaS product at Alloy. As Chief Data Officer in Newark he delivered predictive models, a 1:1 Chromebook rollout, and a rebuilt staffing optimizer that improved equity and student outcomes, demonstrating a rare blend of algorithmic rigor and operational impact. Comfortable in both startup and district-scale environments, he hires and develops high-performing teams, authors production-ready data pipelines, and ships product-focused ML into low-latency production. His GitHub interests in compilers and game development hint at deep systems-level curiosity beyond applied ML and analytics. Based in New Jersey, he combines hands-on engineering with strategic leadership to turn complex data challenges into measurable business and social outcomes.
