Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Harris is a Principal AI Strategy Architect with 11 years of experience building regulated-industry AI systems, currently shaping Snowflake’s Financial Services AI strategy and translating Cortex capabilities into C-level outcomes. He blends deep geospatial and data science roots—from archaeological GIS and spatial databases to applied ML and MLOps—with a pragmatic focus on turning pockets of technical excellence into repeatable, sales-ready solutions. As an adjunct MUSA instructor at UPenn, he brings policy-aware perspectives on AI in cities and government, and he regularly authors technical thought leadership and demo code to influence product roadmaps. Based in Philadelphia, he’s equally at home designing enterprise AI plays as he is teaching Bayesian methods or mapping workflows, and outside work he’s a dad who runs, fishes, and codes in R.
