Brian Graham is a Staff Data Scientist in Berkeley with a decade of experience building production-grade ML and GenAI systems that serve millions of users. He blends PhD-level research in biomechanical imaging and experimental hardware with hands-on MLOps and software engineering—having moved research prototypes into scalable services using FastAPI, Prefect, and Python monorepos. At WeightWatchers he led generative-AI features for 4M+ members, optimized CI/CD to cut build times by 200%, and used contextual bandits to preserve $7M in customer LTV. His background includes patented product development in defense and automotive contexts, and he frequently mentors early-career researchers to translate academic models into industry-ready ML products. Notably, he pairs deep scientific rigor with pragmatic product pivots, deciding when to shift from chatbots to higher-value in-app tools based on pilot data.
