Jason Chang is a Staff Data Scientist in Berkeley with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, NLP, and agentic automation to improve workplace productivity at LinkedIn. He has led development of LLM-embedding powered internal search, a GPT-augmented Slack Q&A bot, and knowledge-gap discovery using semantic graphs, while building data pipelines and a Python-Dash self-service GUI to operationalize solutions. His background as a physicist and quantum computing researcher (PhD and multiple first-author papers including work funded by DOE) gives him a rare blend of rigorous quantitative modeling and practical ML product delivery. Jason excels at translating complex research into reliable, stakeholder-aligned automation that measurably reduces friction in large organizations.
