Summary
Chad Bowman is a Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of software engineering experience, known for reasoning from first principles to build robust, high-performance systems used by millions daily. He helped mature SoFi’s platform engineering—leading teams on complex domains like brokerage trade execution and a multi-channel communications platform that integrates numerous third-party providers. Comfortable in both hands-on coding (Java, Kotlin, Python, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS) and team leadership roles such as scrum master, he focuses on reliability, observability, and test-driven delivery. Now at General Atomics Integrated Intelligence, he applies ML engineering to mission-focused systems while bringing a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach honed in fintech. Outside work he tinkers with mechanical and marine projects—rebuilding a 1969 outboard and maintaining a 25’ sailboat—which reflects his preference for iterative problem-solving and durable craftsmanship.
