Summary
Jon Perry is a Machine Learning Engineer with eight years of experience blending academic rigor and product-focused delivery, based in Dallas, Texas. He holds BS, MS, and a PhD in Computer Science from UT San Antonio with a research background in computer vision that resulted in multiple publications, yet he transitioned early into production NLP and served tangible model-driven feature launches. Jon is comfortable taking research prototypes to servable TensorFlow models and delivered measurable impact within his first month on new products, reflecting a bias for rapid learning and deployment. Agile and self-driven, he thrives in ambiguous, non-linear career paths where interdisciplinary skills matter. Outside of day-to-day engineering he brings the perspective of a published researcher to practical ML systems, bridging the gap between state-of-the-art methods and product constraints.
