Senior🎓
Top SchoolCallin Switzer is a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services with 11 years of experience building production-ready machine learning and statistical systems informed by a PhD in Quantitative Biology and an MA in Statistics from Harvard. He specializes in applied statistics, forecasting, large-scale data validation, and end-to-end science workflows that move prototypes into cloud production. His background in biomechanics and animal behavior has driven novel technical contributions—like increasing neural network sparsity by 80% without accuracy loss and achieving r^2 of 0.98 on nonlinear dynamical predictions—showing a knack for marrying theory with practical engineering. A former postdoc who built real-time video pipelines and an experienced instructor of statistics and data tools, he brings both rigorous research instincts and clear communication to cross-functional teams in Seattle.
