Brendan Herger is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer based in San Francisco with over a decade delivering high-impact ML systems across fraud, payments, and logistics. He has led end-to-end projects that drove tens of millions in annualized experiment-measured value—at Uber for rider/driver safety and at Convoy for freight batching and cost reduction—and built real-time serving infrastructure at Capital One with five-nines uptime. Equally comfortable as a tech lead, product owner, and hands-on implementer, he combines production-grade engineering with research rigor from an M.Sc. in Data Science. A founding member of multiple ML peer-review councils and Pride chapters, he also teaches and mentors, having developed graduate-level modules and corporate training. Outside work he’s a devoted tea master, bringing the same discipline and curiosity to quiet rituals as to complex ML systems.
