Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyrone Desilva is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in San Jose with 10 years of experience building production ML systems across startups and large tech. He has shipped credit and valuation models, BERT-based pipelines that fuse unstructured and structured data, and ML infrastructure at companies including Divvy Homes and Meta. At Myndshft he helped stand up a data science org and worked on computer vision, generative models, differential privacy and concept embeddings, pairing research topics with pragmatic engineering like ETL, containers, and CI/CD. His open-source testing work on OpenMined’s PySyft shows a practical focus on privacy-preserving ML tooling and robustness in serialization workflows. Trained in applied mathematics (UW) with a B.S. in mathematics, he combines rigorous quantitative foundations with hands-on production experience. Colleagues describe him as curious and versatile—equally comfortable iterating models and hardening pipelines for scale.
