Summary
Hooman Mahyar is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building systems at Amazon from his base in Seattle. He has a strong machine learning focus—especially deep learning and computer vision—and a proven track record of turning ML research into production features, from an industrial HTTP-request classifier and cacheability predictor (98.2% F1) at Verizon to NLP pipelines for question answering at a research institute. Comfortable across the stack, he has implemented APIs and production-ready classifiers using ensembles, neural networks, SVMs and online decision trees. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he blends algorithmic rigor with scalable engineering to handle real web-scale traffic and ML model deployment. Off the resume, his GitHub persona (“hooman@y:~$ whoami”) hints at a curious, hands-on developer who enjoys exploring identity at the command line.
