Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdward Tiong is a founder and machine learning engineer with eight years of experience applying AI to high-impact, real-world problems across healthcare, cloud, fintech, and blockchain. He co-founded multiple ventures—most recently Readily—and previously built wearable payments tech and raised non-dilutive funding for international expansion. At Microsoft AI he delivered a personalized Smart Reply for 400M Outlook users and drove an 86% improvement in Azure resource optimization; at Beam Solutions and AKASA he scaled fraud and semi-supervised models to hundreds of millions of transactions. His background blends deep technical work (LSTMs, anomaly detection, graph analytics, PySpark) with product and hardware experience, allowing him to move models from prototype to production. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area with advanced training from Berkeley, Stanford and MIT programs, he combines startup grit with enterprise-scale impact. An underrated strength: he repeatedly bridges hardware, design and ML to create pragmatic, deployable solutions rather than purely academic models.
