Hi! I'm Dr. Randy Olson. I turn ambitious AI ideas into business wins, bridging the gap between technical promise and real-world impact. My work sits at the crossroads of data science, AI engineering, and executive strategy.
Today, I'm Co-Founder of Wyrd Studios, where we're building privacy-first, human-centered technology that amplifies human potential. We believe technology should serve humanity, not replace it.
My journey started with creative data science projects like mapping optimal road trips and solving Where's Waldo with machine learning. This work has been featured in the New York Times, Wired, and FiveThirtyEight. I'm also the creator of TPOT, a pioneering AutoML library with 4,800+ citations, and have published 40+ peer-reviewed papers (h-index 22). Now I apply that same analytical rigor and innovative thinking to building products that truly serve humanity.
