Summary
David Strauss is a Machine Learning Engineer with 14 years of experience applying optimization, matrix methods, and Bayesian modeling to production-scale problems. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and has moved from academic inverse-problem research into industry roles shaping data products and ML at Euclid, Clara Lending, Oliver Wyman (where he rose to Principal Data Scientist), and now Meta. David builds end-to-end solutions—data pipelines, scalable models, and large-scale optimization—for consumer and enterprise analytics, with a particular knack for marrying rigorous mathematical approaches to messy real-world data. Based in Boston, he blends research-level signal processing and optimization expertise with consulting experience in translating technical insight into business impact. An under-the-radar strength is his comfort with low-level numerics and matrix-heavy algorithms, which he uses to squeeze extra performance out of production models.
