Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHollis Nolan is a founder and data science leader with a decade of experience turning complex data into practical business outcomes, most recently founding Plore after exiting Insight Softmax. He built Insight Softmax from a one-person bootstrap consultancy into a ~70-person team delivering AI, open-source, quantum, and HPC solutions, and drove client wins such as a 43% lift in recommendation clicks for Autodesk. Trained in business economics (UCSB) and data science (University of New Haven), Hollis combines rigorous ML engineering with an operator’s eye from a prior career in audio systems—applying signal-processing intuition to feature engineering and model reduction. He is hands-on with Python, Spark, and experimental A/B design, and has a track record of translating technical work into clear ROI for enterprise stakeholders. Based in San Francisco, he balances early-stage venture building with community engagement through PEF and open project work on GitHub.
