Summary
Eddie Cohen is a software engineer with eight years of experience building practical systems across startups and research settings, currently developing product features at Healthie in Washington, D.C. He combines a strong academic background (Master’s and BS from the University of Pennsylvania, plus study at Edinburgh) with hands-on roles in machine learning, NLP research, and technical product work. Eddie has moved fluidly between engineering and research—designing crowdsourcing mechanisms, implementing annotation pipelines, and exploring conservation-focused NFT solutions for WWF—bringing both experimentation and production sensibilities. Comfortable in cross-disciplinary teams, he has experience teaching and mentoring in AI courses and translating research ideas into usable web tools. Colleagues would describe him as an engineer who likes to “code tricks” that solve real problems rather than just write papers.
