Summary
Eli Feasley is a data scientist and former software engineer with 14 years of experience applying analytics, engineering, and legal training to advance abolitionist reforms and bolster public defense in New York. At Neighborhood Defender Service they built AI-driven scheduling and a 30-factor sentencing calculator, automated hundreds of hours of work, and created interactive dashboards and websites that shortened case assignment from days to minutes. Earlier, Eli led growth, personalization, and experimentation efforts at Khan Academy—authoring the platform’s first recommendation engine, running hundreds of A/B tests, and contributing front-end work to well-known open-source projects. With a JD from Yale and deep technical roots in CS research and machine learning, they uniquely bridge law, policy, and production ML systems. Colleagues rely on Eli not only for technical delivery but for securing funding, training practitioners, and translating complex data into actionable advocacy.
