Leo Neumeyer is a seasoned machine learning scientist and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building production ML systems across search, advertising, speech, and digital signal processing. He has led teams at Amazon and Yahoo! and now consults as an independent applied scientist, bringing research-grade methods to real-world products for clients including adidas and Mercado Libre. A prolific inventor and researcher, he holds 13 U.S. patents and has published 46 papers with more than 3,000 citations, evidencing impact across speech recognition, online education, and auction design. His background spans startups and labs—from SRI to founding akuâlab—combining product delivery, academic rigor, and signal-processing expertise. He frequently ships end-to-end solutions that bridge online optimization, session modeling, and mobile health analytics, and maintains practical open-source work (see akualab/occult) to prototype novel ideas. Based in Boston, he focuses on high-impact problems that measurably help people, not just elegant models.
