Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Addy is an engineering leader with ~10 years building and scaling ML systems across eCommerce, advertising, and gaming, currently driving AI/ML product delivery as an Engineering Manager at MNTN. He founded and led PepsiCo’s Generative AI Lab and has repeatedly reduced model development cycles from months to days while driving measurable business impact (including an 8% revenue lift in DTC). Comfortable hands-on, Chris has shipped production forecasting, budget-allocation optimizers, recommender systems, and NLP pipelines, and he often combines ML optimization with LLM-powered explanations. He’s pragmatic about MLOps—migrating orchestration systems, standardizing experiment tracking, and creating Vertex/KuFlow/Flyte tooling to boost developer velocity. With a Master’s in Statistics from Temple and a background spanning startups to enterprise, he brings both statistical rigor and product-minded engineering to cross-functional teams. Notably, he pairs shipping-first instincts with platform-level improvements that turn one-off models into repeatable, high-velocity ML delivery.
