Summary
Jonathan Mackrory is a data scientist and machine learning engineer with 11 years of experience blending physics-driven research and production ML. He holds a PhD in Physics and has applied Monte Carlo, Bayesian, and GPU-accelerated simulation techniques to fundamental quantum optics problems, later translating that rigor into NLP, recommendation, and time-series systems in industry. At Talentpair he built and deployed candidate-job matching pipelines using classical and modern neural approaches (word2vec, CNNs, Transformers) and has continued applying those skills at Kin + Carta. Comfortable with low-level numerical code (Fortran, OpenCL) as well as TensorFlow-based production stacks, he brings a rare combination of experimental physics intuition and end-to-end ML engineering. Based in Portland, Oregon, he’s interested in roles where simulation-grade modeling and scalable ML meet to solve novel, high-impact problems.
