Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJordan Huffaker is a machine learning engineer and HCI researcher with a PhD from the University of Michigan and nine years of experience building human-AI systems that understand social and cultural references. He combines academic rigor—publishing at CHI and prototyping crowdsourced interfaces—with hands-on software engineering in TypeScript/React, Python, and cloud deployments. Jordan has moved research into product contexts, from translator-assist features at Lilt to production ML work at Apple, and has experience fine-tuning language models like BERT. He is comfortable across the stack—frontend experiments, backend APIs, databases, and statistical analysis—and frequently integrates crowd-sourced data collection into model development. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he brings a rare blend of user-centered research and production engineering that helps AI systems reason about nuanced social language.
