Patrick Roos

I’m a computer scientist by training with 20+ years of experience across AI, machine learning, and data science. I now build software and AI/ML products as an independent builder.

Previously, I held Director of Machine Learning and Chief Data Scientist roles at industry-leading software product and AI/DS services organizations. This followed the acquisition of a data science and AI consulting startup where I joined as the first Data Scientist and helped grow the company from 4 to 30+ employees.

Before joining the industry world I did research at the National Cancer Institute and in the AI Group at the University of Maryland (UMD) . I received my Ph.D. (2012) and M.S. in CS at UMD, co-advised by Dana Nau (CS) and Michele Gelfand (Cultural Psychology). My interest in interdisciplinary work and research launched under Bill Manaris during my B.S. in Data Science at the College of Charleston (2007).

I grew up in Bavaria, Germany and became a US citizen after having lived in the US for about half of my life. Outside of work I spend a lot of time training and (no longer really) competing in Muay Thai.
