Andrew FigPope - Principal Machine Learning Engineer

Builds at-scale platforms & teams driven by frontier research and pragmatic engineering discipline - operates at all levels from infrastructure to product to org design across content marketing, clinical genomics, entertainment, and structural biology

Architected and built a multi-region / multi-cloud ML platform for distributed training and inference of OpenFold2/3, RFDiffusion, and ImmSET models. Cofounded the Data Products & Engineering department at Lionsgate / Starz, and built out the real-time analytics and prediction fabric that informed movie greenlighting, and drove streaming content, subscription offers, marketing decisions, and global expansion. Cut my teeth on a Confluent-endorsed streaming clinical decisioning architecture that scaled the business from 10s to 1000s of genetic samples (case study) and an internet-scale streaming intelligence / recommendation layer that powered 150+ content marketing sites (including Fortune 100/500s).

The through-line: making the frontier tractable for everyone... one bit at a time
