Davide Crapis is Head of AI at the Ethereum Foundation and a machine learning leader with 10 years of experience building revenue-optimizing systems, experimentation platforms, and marketplace models. He combines a PhD in Operations Research from Columbia with hands-on product and research roles at Lyft—where he progressed from Data Scientist to Driver Marketplace Lead—and early-stage founding experience at PIN AI. Davide’s work sits at the intersection of rigorous experimentation and applied ML, driving measurable business impact in complex, real-world systems. He’s spent concentrated time exploring AI product strategy during a sabbatical and in the South Park Commons community, evidence of a deliberate blend of research curiosity and product focus. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings academic depth and production engineering savvy to decentralized and high-scale platforms. An uncommon thread in his career is the transition from academic econometrics to leading AI efforts for a major blockchain foundation, reflecting adaptability across domains.
