Emily Curtin is a Staff MLOps Engineer in Atlanta with 12 years of experience turning experimental ML prototypes into scalable, production-ready systems across GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Airflow. She blends a filmmaking background and strong technical documentation chops—evident from contributions to projects like FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition—to make complex systems understandable and maintainable. At Mailchimp/Intuit she led MLOps efforts, mentoring junior engineers and speaking at conferences to spread best practices for reproducible, resource-efficient ML. Prior roles at The Weather Company and IBM show deep experience with large-scale data processing (Spark, Scala) and cloud migrations. Outside work she’s an oil painter, armchair meteorologist, and a rare Atlanta native who also tinkers as a junior Model A mechanic, bringing a practical, creative perspective to engineering problems.
