Eric Gaudet is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 13+ years building scalable systems and production ML at companies from Facebook to Moveworks and most recently Bonfy.AI. He blends low-level coding fluency in Java, Python, C and Bash with large-scale data tooling (Hadoop, Pig, MySQL) to deliver reliable text classification, information extraction and visual search pipelines. At Facebook he shipped production-grade infrastructure and on GitHub contributed substantive improvements to the widely used PyText framework, adding configurability, defaults, metrics and refactors that improve modularity and testing. Comfortable managing clusters and mentoring teams, he pairs a disciplined, clean coding style with excellent debugging skills and a knack for working in diverse codebases. Based in San Jose, he favors hands-on work on challenging problems and brings an engineer-first ethic and integrity to both product and platform efforts. An early career that includes teaching math and founding a computer lab hints at his long-standing commitment to mentorship and practical education.
