Top SchoolLevi Kanwischer is a Senior Applied Scientist with 10 years of experience applying AI/ML to advertising and gaming products, currently advancing GenAI efforts at Amazon Ads from Austin, Texas. He has repeatedly built foundational systems—from custom audience models and behavioral/contextual targeting to Graph Neural Network research—that helped young teams scale from first-dollar experiments to production. Prior roles leading data science at Big Fish Games and Mogl showcase his mix of product-focused modeling, analytics leadership, and business fluency rooted in an earlier accounting background. Levi pairs rigorous academic training (MS degrees from Georgia Tech) with hands-on engineering, exemplified by open-source work like refactoring and hardening an image "legofy" tool across the stack. Colleagues describe him as a technical architect who makes products demonstrably "smarter" while raising organizational data literacy.
