Summary
Patrick Butler is an AI/ML specialist and solutions architect with 16 years of experience translating cutting‑edge research into operational systems across academia, government and industry. A PhD computer scientist and former Research Professor at Virginia Tech, he has led production transitions for IARPA-validated forecasting systems that made tens of thousands of real‑world predictions—spanning civil unrest, disease outbreaks and healthcare acuity—and built LLM and RAG pipelines that slashed manual effort by 99%. He blends deep expertise in time‑series forecasting, NLP, and LLMs with hands‑on experience in deployment technologies like LangChain and ChromaDB, and has advised startups and hospitals on ML-driven decision support. Comfortable moving between exploratory research and robust production engineering, he’s as likely to teach graduate courses as he is to architect operational AI products in the DC area.
