Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShep Sheppard is a founder and seasoned data and AI engineer with over a decade of experience building production ML and data platforms for enterprises and startups. He has a rare blend of hands-on technical depth—from SQL Server performance tuning and Azure Databricks to SageMaker pipelines—and extensive trainer/PM experience at Microsoft and Amazon, helping teams adopt practical ML. A prolific certification holder across Azure and AWS and a Harvard Extension graduate in Data Science, he designs responsible, scalable ML systems and also translates complex models into clear business value for nontechnical stakeholders. Currently leading Vates Domus to democratize AI for real estate, he’s shipped CMA and automated compliance tools that combine classical regression with modern ML practices. Not obvious from the resume: he routinely bridges roles (trainer, PM, engineer, founder), using teaching as a lever to accelerate product adoption and engineer ramp-up.
