Summary
Phillip Yelland is a Senior Applied Scientist with over three decades of research and industry experience and more than 10 years in senior data science leadership roles at Amazon, Target, Google and Facebook. He specializes in machine learning, statistics and large-scale time series and forecasting systems, having led production MLaaS platforms, root-cause analysis for device telemetry, and company-wide supply-chain forecasting. Phillip bridges deep research (PhD in Computer Science from Cambridge) with pragmatic engineering—designing massively parallel anomaly detection, Bayesian/time-series models, and deploying privacy-enhancing data anonymization in production. He is equally comfortable mentoring teams and owning end-to-end technical programs, and has a history of inventing practical algorithms for low-count seasonal series and data-cube transformations. Based in Belmont, CA, he brings a rare combination of academic rigor, product-focused delivery, and hands-on systems design across both devices and cloud infrastructure.
