Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Farthing is a Staff ML Engineer with 13 years of experience building AI products that ship, scale, and move business metrics across computer vision, speech, and NLP. He has a track record of taking 0-to-1 initiatives into durable, team-owned systems—at Rocket Money he launched automated phone and email cancellations, merchant detection, and a standardized LLM layer that grew automation from manual operators to thousands of calls per day. Earlier work at Simple Health cut repeat remote-vision exam redos from ~2 to under 1.1 by instrumenting funnels and deploying face/occlusion detectors, and as a technical co-founder he proved product-market fit by automating interview feedback to filter the lowest-quality candidates. Steve emphasizes closed-loop evaluation, empowering domain experts to own pipelines, and turning operational feedback into continuous ML improvements. Based in the South Bend–Mishawaka region, he blends hands-on engineering, mentoring, and pragmatic architecture to deliver measurable user outcomes.
