Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJeff Bass is a retired data-driven technologist and economist who built a career optimizing reimbursement, pricing, and patient access for biotech therapeutics and now applies that analytical expertise to developing open-source computer vision systems for an urban permaculture farm. With graduate training in econometrics and decades of experience in statistics, biostatistics, market research and business systems (including leadership at Amgen and his own consulting firm), he bridges rigorous quantitative methods with practical software engineering. He contributes to open-source projects—improving documentation for imagezmq—and runs a distributed Raspberry Pi camera network that reads meters, classifies wildlife, monitors weather and solar arrays. Based in California, he combines scientific rigor with hands-on tinkering: designing sensor arrays, building living soils, and turning coffee-shop grounds into compost. His unusual blend of biotech policy know-how, statistical coding, and field-level farm engineering makes him equally at home in boardrooms, codebases, and the backyard habitat.
