Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAustin Walters is a founder and machine learning engineer with 12 years of experience building enterprise-grade tools for search, sentiment analysis, insider threat detection, and data-loss prevention. He blends systems-level C/C++ and Golang engineering with Python-based ML (TensorFlow/Keras) and full-stack Rails work, shipping end-to-end products from prototypes to production. Austin has led startups including InsiderOpinion and IP Copilot, and contributed machine-learning features and data labeling models to notable open-source projects like Capital One’s DataProfiler. Mostly self-taught beyond a CS degree from UIUC, he has a knack for turning messy enterprise data into actionable signals and pragmatic models. Based in Columbia, Tennessee, he pairs hacker curiosity with product focus—building both core algorithms and user-facing systems such as Lettergram and ProjectPiglet.
