Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDevin Cornell is a Senior AI Data Specialist with nine years of experience at the intersection of social science and machine learning, now leading a Center of Excellence building data infrastructure for generative and predictive AI at Omnicom. He combines a PhD in Sociology with an electrical engineering background to translate cultural and survey data into actionable models for marketing, policy, and collaboration networks. Devin has a track record of deploying custom LLM chatbots and predictive models for global agencies, and has published applied network analyses that shaped NGO funding recommendations in Nigeria. His research roots in social cohesion, narrative, and political discourse inform a pragmatic approach to measuring culture—turning latent textual patterns into product features. Comfortable moving between experimental methods and production pipelines, he often surfaces non-obvious signals (e.g., discourse-driven engagement predictors) that improve campaign and community strategies. Based in Durham, NC, he blends academic rigor with agency-paced delivery across consulting and in-house roles.
