Taylor Cassidy is a Director of Operations and former NLP researcher with 13 years of experience blending applied machine learning, natural language processing, and operations management in dense urban pest control and enterprise environments. Based in New York, Taylor runs day-to-day service management, compliance, scheduling, and automation at Systematic Pest Elimination while also operating a software consultancy focused on NLP and AI. Their background spans research roles at IBM, the Army Research Lab, and Johns Hopkins—where they contributed to temporal NLP and multimodal dialog projects—and production NLP engineering at Wells Fargo and Tiger Analytics. This mix of deep academic research, production ML engineering, and hands-on operations gives Taylor a rare ability to translate complex language technology into scalable, reliable systems and practical field workflows. An early career in actuarial analysis and teaching statistics underpins a data-first, process-oriented approach to both technical design and operational strategy.
