Natalie Olivo, Machine Learning Engineer

Some of the greatest insights are buried in many different sources of unstructured data. I've dedicated my career to providing transparency to our ever connecting world.

I am a 12 year experienced Data professional whose focus has been on taking small startups from 0 to 1 in terms of ML integration. While juggling the many hats required to "make it work" in scrappy environments is exciting, I have more recently relished in the opportunity to specialize as a Machine Learning Engineer and see my efforts reach unicorn scale. I've worked on innovative products that have won awards, shaped industries, and made history. I have specialized knowledge in extracting information from large amounts of text, and I'm currently making strides into computer vision and creating art with Diffusion Models.

Community

I've lived in Fort Wayne, Chicago, Louisville, Boston and DC for career opportunities and found myself naturally embedded in professional communities. Here in Cleveland, I electively seek this community out and help create it as Director of Women Who Code. We organize monthly virtual events aimed to highlight, connect, and empower technologists in the Cleveland area and beyond.

In my first job in my career as an actuarial analyst, I had a front-row seat to the transition from Pensions to 401ks. In my first job in my next career as a data scientist, I had a front-row seat to the increasing privitization of healthcare related research in the US. After the outbreak of COVID-19 and the wide-spread adoption of remote work in 2020, I reflected on my priorities and found myself leaving Washington, DC for Cleveland, OH so that I may be closer to my family, and many incredible volleyball venues.

Volleyball and the community it brings me are really important parts of my life. I joyously play at the AVP BB level.
