Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Matheson is a Senior Engineering Manager specializing in ML/AI with 13 years of experience building production-ready prediction systems and leading cross-functional teams. He co-founded two startups that were acquired—Haro.ai, a developer-friendly real-time prediction engine, and Empirical Results—demonstrating both product vision and hands-on engineering. David has led data science and engineering organizations at game and tech companies (Hothead Games, Klue, EA), shipping real-time systems, ML pipelines, and low-latency gameplay features. He blends deep technical chops (ML, NLP, distributed systems) with people leadership, mentoring engineers from prototype to scalable deployment. Based in Canada with an MSc in Machine Learning from UBC, he often advises firms on data strategy as a Data Science Advisor. Not obvious from titles: he has practical experience optimizing for extreme latency and resource constraints from his game-engine days, which informs his pragmatic approach to ML system design.
