Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Hayden is a data scientist based in Portland with 11 years of experience applying machine learning and AI to real-world problems, currently developing a generative-AI tool to summarize and surface related research for ESA’s Ariel mission as part of his MSc thesis. He brings a strong Python and ML engineering background from roles at Citi Innovation Lab—where he built CNN-based document classifiers, OCR pipelines, NLP analytics and CI/CD automation for production deployment. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs research-grade LLM work with practical production skills (OpenCV, TensorFlow/Keras, PySpark, Jenkins, OpenShift), and has led efforts to reduce handoffs between data science and ops. His trajectory from IT support and web development to specialist AI work illustrates a pragmatic, hands-on approach to solving complex data problems and shipping robust systems.
