Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Chung is an applied scientist with 12 years of experience applying deep learning and research-grade ML to production problems across Amazon, AWS, and Goodnotes. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto and has repeatedly moved research into product—building end-to-end handwriting OCR and segmentation pipelines during an Amazon internship that later informed larger applied work. His roles span cloud-scale ML at AWS and consumer-facing features at Goodnotes, demonstrating comfort with both backend model infrastructure and user-centered applications. Based in Seattle, he blends academic rigor with product delivery, making him adept at turning novel algorithms into robust, deployable systems. An active researcher and engineer, he also experiments publicly (GitHub: jonomon) and documents practical ML insights in technical posts.
