Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRowan Copley is a founding engineer and applied ML practitioner with 11 years of experience building production data dashboards, APIs, and ML-driven products that reach real users. Based in Portland, he blends startup leadership—co-founding a civic tech studio and serving as an early engineering hire at multiple companies—with hands-on research work like multi-armed bandit optimization, agent-based market modeling, and semantic search for public-interest datasets. He’s shipped end-to-end systems from prototype to market, led engineering teams, and contributed training data for large language models, reflecting both product instincts and model-level expertise. Currently at Antfly, he’s focused on distributed context infrastructure for agents, on-prem multimodal search, and ML pipelines—continuing a pattern of moving complex research ideas into usable tools. An understated strength is his history of building science-forward applications (Nanocrafter, drug discovery visualizations) that bridge technical rigor with accessible user experiences.
