Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Sullivan is a Principal Applied AI Scientist with a decade of experience building production-grade AI systems, from ETL pipelines and medical-data tooling to platform-level LLM training, fine-tuning, and evaluation. Currently scaling AI capabilities at Gusto, he previously led Azure AI efforts at Microsoft developing testing and agentic evaluation frameworks for large language models. His background blends hands-on engineering and research—designing graph- and language-based tools for government programs, analyzing disinformation for the U.S. Senate, and creating influence-detection systems for high-profile brands. A Rice alumnus with a Master's in CS and a BS in Applied Physics, he brings uncommon breadth across distributed systems, ML, and network analysis. Outside work he’s an avid reader and Dungeons & Dragons player, a hint of the strategic thinking he applies to complex AI alignment and evaluation challenges.
