Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCurtis Mitchell is a Tech Strategist and software engineer with 12 years of experience building privacy-conscious ML systems and full‑stack web applications across startups, open-source communities, and government research labs. He blends hands‑on engineering—from TypeScript frontends and SQL/Postgres backends to PyTorch models and CI/CD—with privacy expertise in differential privacy, federated learning, and secure multiparty computation. Notable work includes leading privacy-preserving data joins for national statistical agencies, earning an innovator award at NASA for a federated learning concept, and rescuing a customer‑facing screenshot feature from <20% to ~99% reliability at Mode. An active OpenMined contributor, he focuses on test automation and documentation for PySyft to enable ML on remote private data, reflecting a rare mix of product delivery, research collaboration, and community stewardship. Based in San Francisco, he also runs a consulting practice helping organizations operationalize privacy and AI strategies.
