Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Dougherty is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a PhD from UC Berkeley and eight years of experience applying ML and statistical modeling across computational biology, e-commerce, fintech, and operations. He has transitioned research-grade time-series and spatial modeling into production systems—leading computer-vision deployments that saved six-figure annual costs at Care/of and revenue-boosting personalization and ranking initiatives at NerdWallet. Comfortable across the full stack, Eric builds React/React Native frontends, AWS-backed backends, Solidity contracts for NFT-based games, and ML pipelines that span deep learning, RNNs, and tree-based models. He also founders Qwagga Dev, shipping consumer apps from luxury real estate to multi-season fantasy platforms and a couples-focused budgeting app that links accounts via secure QR/NFT flows. Known for mentoring junior engineers and interns, he pairs rigorous scientific training with product-minded execution and a knack for turning messy, large-scale movement or transaction data into actionable systems.
