Isabella Tromba is a founder and machine learning engineer with 11 years of experience building practical ML and software systems, currently leading Tangram. She combines hands-on engineering from early roles at Slack, Apple, and MIT Media Lab with research experience in physics and biology from UCSC and MIT, giving her a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on applied ML and imaging. At Tangram she focuses on turning model research into production-ready tooling and has contributed to open-source ML infrastructure work such as ModelFox, improving benchmark reliability and evaluation for tree models. Her background includes building medical image-processing pipelines and Monte Carlo simulation tools, demonstrating comfort across low-level systems and high-level model deployment. Colleagues describe her as a founder who ships robust, measurable systems and prefers standardizing and refactoring code to make complex experiments repeatable. She holds dual degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics and an MEng in Computer Science from MIT.

Contributions summary:Isabella primarily focused on enhancing and maintaining the tree benchmarks within the ModelFox repository. Their work involved fixing paths for benchmark artifacts, cleaning up and refactoring benchmark code across multiple datasets such as Higgs, Flights, Allstate, and others. Furthermore, the user updated the benchmarks to utilize gnu time and refactored and standardized code for testing and evaluation within the linear and tree benchmark frameworks.
