Felix Zhao is a Senior Data Scientist in Wellington with 12 years of software engineering experience and a recent focus on ML engineering and MLOps. He builds end-to-end prediction and computer vision models (face and pose detection) and has operationalized them in production using Docker, Spark, AWS and Terraform. With a decade-long background in RESTful API development and service optimization, he bridges model development and robust service delivery. His roles across finance, telecom and government show an ability to apply ML to risk control and edge/service-side deployments. Felix pairs formal training in computer science and applied statistics with hands-on model training in PyTorch and TensorFlow. He often sits at the intersection of data engineering and software engineering, making him effective at moving research prototypes into scalable systems.
