Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGary Koplik is a Senior Data Scientist and Data Visualization Engineer with nine years converting research-grade math into production cloud-native tools for DARPA, USDA, and the U.S. Forest Service. He architects end-to-end microservice platforms—from containerized FastAPI backends and CI/CD to authenticated frontends and credentialed databases—often delivering rapid prototypes that become user-facing systems. His work blends applied mathematics, interactive visualization (Bokeh, Datashader, Panel), and GenAI-driven pipelines, including a DARPA project for generative AI-assisted ship design and an authenticated image-labeling platform for Forest Service experts. A hands-on team lead and mentor, he also builds developer ergonomics into projects (Pyodide clients, Auth0 automation, one-click Cloud Run deployments) and maintains the open-source Hiveplotlib package for network visualization. Based in Durham, NC, Gary is as comfortable presenting technical briefs as he is containerizing complex ML stacks for GovCloud and rapid field deployments.
