Senior🎓
Top SchoolSpencer Hayes-laverdiere is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 9 years of experience building production ML systems across computer vision, NLP, and PropTech. He currently leads pricing and encoding model development and deployment at a Montreal-based PropTech startup, bringing a strong track record of shipping LLM-powered pipelines and ML platform tooling in regulated environments. Spencer has repeatedly driven cost and latency optimizations—halving GPU VRAM needs to save $10k/month and cutting API latency from 3+ seconds to under 500ms—while implementing robust caching, regeneration limits, and safety checks for LLM features. He pairs hands-on model engineering with data infrastructure expertise, having built ELT/streaming pipelines, PHI/PII detection tooling, and real-time recommendation systems at scale. Comfortable mentoring engineers and owning end-to-end delivery, he also brings domain breadth from geospatial analytics to explainable AI (SHAP) that helps bridge product and compliance needs.
