Benjamin Jakubowski is a Director of Data Science in New York with eight years of experience translating machine learning and MLOps into measurable healthcare impact across hospice, home care, and personal care agencies. He leads teams that build production ML products and redesigned VNS Health’s MLOps stack—integrating GitLab CI, Snowflake-backed Feast, and AWS SageMaker—to speed deployments and improve model resilience. His work includes a deployed mortality risk prediction service that materially improved hospice quality metrics and custom tooling for clinical model transparency and data quality monitoring. Trained in data science at NYU and with a background in civic predictive analytics and education, he blends rigorous research instincts with practical, production-first engineering. Notably, he left an NYU CS PhD program after completing depth and breadth requirements to focus on applied impact in healthcare analytics.
