Summary
Heyley Gatewood is a research engineer and AI consultant with eight years of experience building machine learning solutions that move from lab prototypes to production, including AI-driven educational platforms and ML models for radiation detection and lunar exploration. With an MS in Computer Science (Machine Learning) from Georgia Tech, she has a track record of translating research—published and patent-pending work on radiation detector performance—into cost-saving, real-world systems. Heyley excels at end-to-end project leadership, integrating predictive analytics and automation into university and government workflows while managing deployment and system integration. Her background spans applied research (MSRI, Idaho National Lab) and hands-on security tooling and planning systems developed during her undergraduate work, revealing a knack for combining theoretical rigor with practical engineering. Based in Fayetteville, GA, she brings a curiosity-driven approach that surfaces non-obvious gains from model-driven instrumentation and process automation.
