Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Carlson is a Sr Principal AI Engineer with 11 years translating applied research into production ML and AI platforms, currently building next-generation analytics at Amplitude after a multi-year run shaping AI strategy and global architecture at Included Health. He specializes in uniting cross-functional tiger teams—engineering, clinical, product, and operations—to deliver measurable margin and ROI improvements via domain-driven architectures, data mesh patterns, and automated ML pipelines. Eric led development of scalable, k8s-backed model platforms that accelerated model throughput by an order of magnitude and drove high-impact products like provider matching and insurance chatbots that materially improved margins and deflection rates. A PhD physicist by training, he brings heavy quantitative rigor to healthcare problems and a proven ability to rework legacy offerings into market-leading, high-margin services. Outside work he’s as likely to be found hiking Oregon trails, playing electric guitar, or convincing his tuxedo cat Frank to cooperate.
