Summary
Michael Peet is a software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building performant, production ML and web systems, currently designing a live annotation pipeline for document ranking at Bloomberg in New York. Trained in Mechatronics Engineering with an AI focus from the University of Waterloo, he blends machine learning, computer vision, and full-stack engineering to ship models and services that measurably improve metrics—examples include cutting false negatives by 61% in production object detection and saving $77k/year through backend optimizations. He has deep experience speeding up training and inference pipelines, debugging C++ model frameworks, and tuning ORM and job-processing bottlenecks to deliver 2–4x performance gains. Comfortable across the stack, Michael pairs experimental research (loss functions, synthetic data for underrepresented classes) with pragmatic engineering that scales in production.
