Summary
Erik Andrejko is a seasoned technology leader with 17 years building AI-driven data platforms and distributed systems across Bay Area startups, currently serving as VP Engineering, AI at Ohalo Genetics to modernize plant breeding with ML, robotics, and cloud infrastructure. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Mathematics) with hands-on engineering—co-founding startups, scaling teams through hypergrowth, and leading multiple successful exits. His technical strengths span deep neural networks, Bayesian statistical modeling, entity graphs/NLP for entity resolution, and full-stack systems that connect data to high-impact decisions. Known for weaving business strategy into technical roadmaps, he has repeatedly turned research-grade models into production products and new lines of data-driven business. A less obvious trait: he frequently bridges domain science (agronomy, climatology) and engineering, enabling teams to translate complex scientific models into scalable software and automation.
