Summary
Honi Sanders is a Senior Data Science Engineer with 12 years of experience bridging computational neuroscience and production ML systems, currently building data pipelines and predictive models for cybersecurity at SimSpace. With a PhD in Neuroscience and postdoctoral work at MIT, Honi brings deep expertise in probabilistic inference, simulation-driven modeling in C++/Python, and time-series and video analysis. He has productionized ML at scale—improving recommendation precision tenfold at Forrester—and built practical automation projects from a home Raspberry Pi/ESP32 network to AWS/GCP-deployed web bots. Comfortable across research and engineering, he excels at turning noisy, unlabeled signals into actionable algorithms and tooling to improve customer experience and internal processes. An unconventional blend of academic rigor and hands-on engineering, Honi also developed a bitcoin trading algorithm that delivered strong real-world returns.
