Evan Curtin
Principal Applied Scientist at Relativity
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Curtin is a Principal Applied Scientist in Chicago with nine years of experience building ML and LLM systems that operate in high-stakes, production environments. He designs models, evaluation frameworks, and deployment pipelines together so teams can iterate rapidly and ship tools that deliver measurable impact—most notably leading Relativity’s LLM-based document classification used in active eDiscovery litigations. Evan pairs a strong research background in computational chemistry and high-performance C++ with hands-on engineering skills (Kubernetes, Argo, Spark, AWS) to diagnose unexpected production behavior and unblock stalled projects. He’s known for privacy-preserving evaluation pipelines and reliability metrics for LLMs, and for translating vague goals into concrete, testable systems that users rely on. Colleagues lean on him for pragmatic solutions that balance experimental agility with operational safety.
