Ilya Rahkovsky
Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Pinpoint Predictive
Rockville, Maryland, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolIlya Rahkovsky is a Senior Machine Learning Scientist with eight years of experience applying statistical rigor and ML to high-stakes domains from biotech and AI forecasting to insurance risk. He builds production-ready pipelines (AWS, Dagster, DuckDB, GCP) and deploys boosting and deep learning models while driving cost-optimized computation and company-wide quality standards. His background as a PhD economist and senior research economist gives him a rare blend of causal thinking, large-scale data expertise, and practical forecasting—skills he used to map science at scale (100M+ articles, billions of citations) and to extract drug mechanisms from complex biological graphs. A former lecturer in statistics and ML, he pairs clear communication and teaching with hands-on engineering, and often focuses on interpretability, feature-causal analysis, and rigorous model validation rather than black-box wins.
