Michael Lewis is a data scientist and AI/ML leader with a decade of experience building product-driven machine learning platforms and founding AI-native fintech startups. He has led algorithm and analytics teams at TIFIN and shipped agentic assistants and prediction systems that drive customer personalization and go-to-market optimization. Michael has hands-on experience scaling ML in production—from recommendation and NLP systems at Ibotta to voice agents for high-volume drive-throughs at Valyant AI—and now applies that expertise at Meta. He blends quantitative rigor from an early career in economic and pharma analytics with entrepreneurial instincts for taking models from prototype to revenue. Based in Denver, he is passionate about mentoring engineers and cultivating collaborative teams that prioritize integrity and measurable business impact. A quieter strength is his cross-domain fluency—financial services, retail, and conversational AI—which helps him translate complex data science into practical operational change.
