Summary
Jared Yamaoka is a physics-trained data scientist and quantum researcher with nine years of experience applying machine learning, simulation, and data engineering to problems spanning high-energy physics, telecom-scale telemetry, insurance fraud, and federal science portfolio analysis. He has translated complex research skills into production impact—building real-time fraud graphs and composite claims models at GEICO, deriving device health KPIs from telemetry at Microsoft, and leveraging LLMs and knowledge graphs to illuminate NSF grant networks. Currently supporting the Laboratory for Physical Sciences through JTEC Consulting, he blends program management with hands-on quantum simulation and data science. Jared’s background in particle physics and HPC gives him a strength for noisy, high-dimensional data and principled statistical inference that isn’t obvious from typical industry resumes.
