Summary
Sean Crosby is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building production ML systems that bridge research and product—scaling services, automating structured-data extraction from unstructured sources, and orchestrating multi-tier data pipelines. He draws on a PhD in Physical Oceanography and research roles at Scripps and USGS to bring rigorous modeling, large-data workflow management, and peer-reviewed publication experience to applied ML problems. Sean has shipped transformer fine-tuning, RAG and agentic LLM workflows for commercial products, and improved web categorization at scale for K–12 safety, demonstrating both experimental depth and operational rigor. Based in Bellingham, WA, he pairs scientific curiosity (physical oceanography) with practical engineering—he’s also an avid runner and wing-foiler—bringing collaborative mentorship and cross-disciplinary thinking to teams.
