Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Geary is a PhD student and experienced data scientist with a decade of hands-on experience applying machine learning and probabilistic decision-making to real-world problems. Based in Edinburgh, he researches graph neural networks for fraud detection while previously building entity resolution, name normalization, and testing tooling for a Machine-Learning product at Ripjar. His academic work in interactive decision-making for autonomous driving produced novel risk- and reward-formulations that blend game-theoretic thinking with practical planning. Comfortable shipping production backend features with PySpark, Pandas and MongoDB, he pairs rigorous mathematical training (Trinity College Dublin, first-class honours) with a habit of running reading groups to keep teams current on cutting-edge research. Jack is driven, detail-oriented, and able to translate research advances into deployed systems.
