Kevin Ngo is a data scientist based in California with 15 years of engineering experience and a Master’s in Information & Data Science from UC Berkeley, specializing in NLP and computer vision. He designs and ships production ML pipelines—ranging from multilingual invoice extraction with LayoutLM and M2M100 to ConvNeXt-based form classification—consistently improving accuracy and automating large volumes of manual work. Kevin pairs strong research and model-building skills with pragmatic engineering: image preprocessing, skew/orientation correction, blank-image filtering, and end-to-end deployment using Cython/PyInstaller to meet real-world constraints. Earlier roles span data engineering and full-stack work where he built real-time PySpark pipelines, optimized database schemas, and led a clinical recommender prototype into testing. An active open-source front-end contributor, he’s improved A-Frame and three.js tooling for VR experiences—evidence of a breadth that bridges interactive UIs and deep learning systems. He combines a practical, metrics-driven mindset with hands-on implementation across the ML lifecycle to convert messy data into measurable impact.
