Top SchoolKristjan Arumae is a Senior Applied Scientist with a decade of experience building and deploying ML systems across Amazon and Qualtrics, now based in New York.

At Qualtrics he progressed from Senior Researcher to Staff Applied Scientist, bridging product needs with research-driven solutions. Known for navigating both academic and industry environments, he moves models from prototype to scale while keeping an eye on product impact and user-facing metrics.
