Summary
Karl Dailey is an Applied Scientist in Seattle with 11 years of experience turning complex data into actionable insights across academia and industry. At Amazon he applies advanced ML and security-focused analytics after earlier roles building large-scale data pipelines, time-series and probabilistic models at Comcast and research-driven NLP at the University of Pennsylvania. He has hands-on experience with big-data ecosystems (Hadoop, Hive, Spark), H2O, and production dashboards, and has moved research into real-world products—from terabyte HIVE pipelines to automated analytics consumed via Tableau. Notably, his academic work processed billions of tweets and led to a JAMA publication linking social media signals to cardiovascular research, showing an ability to bridge novel research with practical outcomes. He also teaches and builds geospatial web tools, and has migrated services to cloud infrastructure to improve scalability and cost. Pragmatic and persistent, he combines statistical rigor with engineering chops to turn “impossible” problems into operational opportunities.
