Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWesley Chaney is a Principal Data Scientist based in Portland with a decade of experience bridging academic vision science and production ML systems across cloud and robotics domains. He combines a PhD in Vision Science and a Master’s in Statistics from UC Berkeley with hands-on roles in computer vision for special effects and robotics, cloud compute and storage optimization on AWS/GCP/Azure/Databricks, and data science leadership at Apptio/IBM and Sync Computing. Wesley is comfortable moving models from experimental fMRI and behavioral research into scalable engineering contexts, having worked at startups like Arraiy and farm-ng as well as enterprise teams. Known for rigorous computational modeling and practical optimization, he brings an unusual mix of perceptual science, statistical depth, and cloud-native engineering to complex production problems. Outside work he channels the same curiosity into photography and backcountry hiking, often testing visual algorithms against real-world scenes.
