Mike Harmon is an AI Engineer in New York City with a decade of experience turning complex data into production-grade ML systems, from AutoML and entity resolution to geospatial analysis and GenAI applications. He combines hands-on engineering—especially with PySpark and Scala on Apache Spark since 2017, work that contributed to two patents—with strategic leadership of cross-functional teams at firms like JPMorgan Chase and Millennium. Holding a PhD in Computational Applied Mathematics from UT Austin, he brings rigorous numerical methods and scientific software engineering experience, including impactful open-source contributions to the deal.ii finite element library. Mike uniquely bridges cutting‑edge LLM tooling (LangChain/LangGraph) with classical econometrics and optimization, enabling pragmatic solutions across finance and product contexts. Outside work he balances high-performance pursuits—Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and active U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary leader—which reflect his discipline and operational leadership.
