Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Hausler is a machine learning leader and hands-on CTO with 13 years of experience bridging research-grade computational neuroscience and production ML systems. As Co-Founder & CTO of Flowstate.zone and former Head of Machine Learning at Zendesk, he has led teams that operationalize complex models at scale while keeping a strong engineering focus. His PhD work and early research roles in neuroinformatics and BCI labs give him deep expertise in neural data, signal processing, and interpretable models rarely found in product ML leaders. Comfortable shipping production software since the early 2000s, he pairs practical engineering with academic rigor to solve noisy, real-world data problems. Based in Melbourne, he combines startup grit with enterprise ML leadership, often favoring experimental, data-driven approaches to ambiguous challenges. Colleagues describe him as a doer who turns hard research ideas into reliable, deployable systems.
