Summary
Callie Federer is a Data Science Manager and PhD-trained computational bioscientist with 11 years of experience turning research-grade machine learning into production impact. She currently leads a team building recommendations, ranking, clustering, and time-series forecasting solutions for freight analytics while previously shipping an ad campaign forecasting tool and company-wide BI/OKR dashboards. At Pearson she boosted OCR accuracy dramatically by iterating on Mask R-CNN and Transformer models and prototyped Bayesian hyperparameter tools, reflecting a blend of applied ML and rigorous experimental practice. Callie’s background spans computational neuroscience, medical dosimetry modeling, and bioinformatics, giving her a rare ability to connect domain science with scalable ML systems. She’s completing an Executive MBA, signaling growing product and business leadership on top of deep technical chops. Based in Denver, she’s known for rebuilding cross-functional collaboration between data, engineering, and product to move prototypes into live outcomes.
