Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWill Beason is a PhD student and ethical AI researcher with 12 years of software and data science experience, blending rigorous mathematics with hands-on engineering. He has driven production software and policy tooling at Google, led ML teams and AI automation projects as Chief Data Scientist, and builds models to explain real-world systems. Comfortable across the stack, he’s delivered scalable cloud-native solutions (GKE policy management) and practical NLP and Bayesian systems for talent and automation products. Will’s background spans academia, national labs, and the military ecosystem, giving him a rare mix of statistical rigor, systems thinking, and operational discipline. Based in Seattle, he’s passionate about demystifying data for non-experts and embedding ethical concerns into AI research and deployment. An atypical detail: he started programming telescopes and observatory systems at Los Alamos, an early fusion of hardware, scripting and scientific data collection that still informs his empirical approach.
