Matt Wilber is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable ML and infrastructure systems, currently applying ML Ops and Responsible AI at Spring Health in Seattle. He has driven measurable CI/CD improvements at Microsoft—cutting PR and CI build/test times by a third—while also training transformer models for web-scale retrieval and diagnosing embedding anisotropy. His background spans cloud-native ML platforms (GPU autoscaling on EKS), large-scale data engineering (Spark pipeline optimization and autoscaling), and production ML serving in healthcare contexts. A pragmatic engineer and test-automation advocate, he has strengthened open-source tooling like CornellNLP’s ConvoKit by hardening its test suite and CI behavior. He holds a CS master’s from Cornell and a math degree from Harvey Mudd, combining strong theoretical grounding with production-hardened delivery.
