Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwain West is a Data Engineer II based in New York with nine years of experience building data platforms, analytics pipelines, and ML-enabled tooling across startups and enterprise teams. He led TickPick’s data engineering efforts—owning Snowflake and Databricks infrastructure, pricing-comparison features, and automated ticket-transfer systems—that supported rapid revenue growth and margin-optimization initiatives affecting hundreds of millions in inventory. With an MMath in Computer Science from Waterloo and a strong interdisciplinary BA from Penn in logic, CS, and philosophy of science, he blends rigorous technical foundations with practical product impact. His background includes NLP, conversational systems, and machine-vision table parsing developed at RBC, and a taste for hardware-adjacent projects (Raspberry Pi/Arduino) reflected in his hobbyist GitHub work. Colleagues know him as a hands-on engineer who moves projects from prototype to production and mentors junior teammates while keeping an eye on practical business outcomes.
