Summary
Jeremy Watkins is a data scientist and machine learning specialist with nine years of experience building and scaling Big Data/ML products to improve patient outcomes at Komodo Health. He combines production-grade PySpark and cloud experience with deep ML expertise (GBMs, TensorFlow/Keras, LSTM time-series) and a track record of shaving model error and training time in healthcare settings. Previously he improved verification throughput as a graphics engineer at Intel and delivered fast influenza and creatinine prediction models at Kaiser Permanente, showing a practical focus on performance and reproducibility. Comfortable across R and Python stacks, visualization, optimization, and deployment (Shiny/Dash, Snowflake, S3), he regularly uses PySpark in daily work and ranks in the top 2% on Kaggle. Based in San Francisco, he pairs electrical engineering and financial math training with a pragmatic drive to turn messy clinical data into actionable, scalable solutions.
