Derek Hansen is a Senior Data Engineer with an 11-year track record combining statistical rigor and production ML systems, recently transitioning from the FDA where he reviewed AI/ML-enabled diagnostic devices. He holds a PhD in Statistics and Scientific Computing from the University of Michigan and has applied his research in industry internships at AWS and KLA, producing work on physics-informed neural nets and image segmentation. At the FDA he not only reviewed submissions but built and deployed a PyTorch model to extract gait biomarkers from wearable IMU and walkway data and helped revise an FDA-recognized standard for AI/ML in medical devices. He also founded a cross-team statistical writing forum that grew to 35+ participants, reflecting his commitment to clear technical communication. Now based in Silver Spring, MD and serving as a Senior Data Engineer at Northwell Health, he blends academic depth in particle filters and state-space models with practical experience shipping regulated, clinically relevant ML pipelines.
