Summary
Joseph Durago is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience who blends an electrical engineering and hardware reliability background with production ML and data engineering. He has driven measurable impact—5x revenue submission improvements via real-time CV and entity recognition and a 30x field reliability improvement on inverter products—while building ETL, forecasting, and inference pipelines using Python, PyTorch, and AWS. Comfortable moving between low-level reliability analysis (Weibull, DFMEA) and scalable ML deployments (SageMaker, Lambda, Docker), he repeatedly turns test data and failure analysis into actionable, automated tooling. Based in Oakland, he pairs a quality-first mindset from hardware testing with hands-on software delivery and a knack for shipping pragmatic ML systems. Off-hours he pursues Argentine Tango and analog photography, reflecting a creative attention to detail that surfaces in both model tuning and visualization.
