Senior🎓
Top SchoolSkye Bender-demoll is a senior software engineer and data leader with 17 years building scalable data, ML, and music-metadata systems from research prototypes to production. Based in Oakland, CA, she has driven critical infrastructure and pipeline work at Gracenote and UnitedMasters—helping grow a $10M music metadata product, reduce content incidents, and cut fraud via ML models for streaming analytics. At Meedan she translated media-similarity research into a production ML/data stack (including the Timpani MVP) to support scalable misinformation response and social listening. Comfortable leading teams and hands-on coding, she combines systems architecture, Spark/ETL, and Python modernization with product-focused delivery and incident-runbook discipline. Her early career in dynamic network visualization and academic collaborations informs a strong data-first intuition for messy, multilingual, and semi-structured datasets. Known for shipping cross-functional solutions that balance customer needs, ops, and R&D, she thrives where data complexity meets product impact.
