Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Perkins is a data scientist and AI engineer with nine years of experience turning ML research into revenue-driving production systems, currently co-founding a stealth startup in Raleigh. He built Healthcare.com's flagship pricing engine and led product to deliver an 80% YoY revenue increase while scaling A/B testing velocity tenfold. Prior roles include deploying real-time ML propensity scoring that doubled conversion in pilot tests and creating autobidders that improved LTV:CAC by 74%, plus predictive lead and account-fit models at Pendo that materially increased pipeline quality. His background spans hands-on model development, API and platform migrations, and practical experimentation frameworks—skills rooted in earlier research and fieldwork from wildlife conservation to ethnographic interviewing. That unusual mix of conservation research and production ML gives him a pragmatic, data-driven approach to product design and a knack for extracting signal from noisy, real-world data.
