David Evans is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building perception and data pipelines for autonomous systems, currently leading ML efforts at Blue River Technology. His background spans research and applied roles—from designing unsupervised clustering for lane detection and camera-based vehicle mapping to deploying production ML at an agtech leader—reflecting strength across both research and engineering. A Virginia Tech-trained electrical engineer with a master's in robotic systems from Carnegie Mellon, he pairs hardware-savvy experience (embedded Raspberry Pi systems, PCB design) with modern ML practice. He’s also entrepreneurial: co-founding a startup that innovated low-cost Bluetooth tracking and engaging directly with hundreds of customers to validate product-market fit. Outside work he guides outdoor adventures, a thread that surfaces in his pragmatic, user-focused approach to problem solving.
