Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCole Maclean is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer in Calgary with 11 years of experience blending chemical engineering domain knowledge with production ML to accelerate the energy transition. He has moved models from R&D to paid trials and production—optimizing compute, scaling pipelines on GCP, and integrating ML with industrial control systems for customers in utilities and energy. His background as a process engineer informs pragmatic solutions: he has identified multimillion-dollar savings, improved facility reliability with anomaly detection, and sped complex math engines from 30 minutes to under 2 minutes. At Uplight and prior roles at Synauta and IBM he led teams, shipped convolutional and custom neural architectures, and built extendable, unit-tested Python libraries and automation around deployment. Comfortable across the stack—data pipelines, distributed compute, and ML research—he pairs scientific rigor with product-minded engineering to turn experimental models into operational value.
