Summary
Benjamin Cook is a software engineer specializing in Machine Learning as a Service, with a decade of experience building scalable, microservice-based platforms and consumer-focused ML solutions. He combines strong full-stack engineering (Python, JavaScript, Java, C++) with deep learning and data science toolchains including TensorFlow, Keras, Spark and HDF5 to turn behavioral datasets into actionable insights. Benjamin has built production-grade ML infrastructure on AWS with Docker and AMQP, and created user-friendly SaaS tooling that abstracts code and infrastructure for model training and deployment. His background in marketing and academic teaching—recognized by a Vice-Chancellor’s award—gives him a rare ability to connect consumer behavior theory to practical model design and evaluation. He also explores applied reinforcement learning in robotics, having developed a Deep Q–style controller for an autonomous fixed-wing drone. Based in Brisbane, he’s available for full-time or contract roles that bridge scalable web systems and consumer behavior analytics.
