Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDion Whitehead is a multidisciplinary technology leader and CTO with 16 years of experience building ML infrastructure, scientific software, and consumer-facing products. He architected the reinforcement learning platform that underpinned high-profile research at Sony and brings rare fluency across full-stack engineering, scalable infrastructure, and collaboration with research scientists. A founder and entrepreneur, he now leads Global Ultrasound Institute while incubating Metapages, blending product instincts with open science practice from his Entrepreneur-in-Residence role. His background—a PhD in bioinformatics and early postdoc work in evolving systems—gives him deep domain insight into biological data and adaptive algorithms that informs his ML work. Based in San Francisco, he moves comfortably between shipping production systems and shaping research-grade tooling, and maintains an experimental public footprint (evolvedeeptimecomplex.systems) that reflects his interest in complex adaptive systems.
