Matthew Pietrzykowski has over 20 years of experience developing AI products as a practicing data scientist and leader. He has held many roles over the years, from individual contributor to building and leading teams. His experiences helped him to build a strong understanding of not only how to build AI products, but the tactics and strategy behind building those products to deliver value in a safe and ethical way. Matthew is married with two grown children, two dogs and a cat. He lives in upstate New York (i.e., the other NY). When not keeping up on the latest in AI (which he truly enjoys and considers a hobby), Matthew watches American football (Go Bills!) and like to walk and hike.
