Taking farming to the next level. :)"The new farm, which will begin selling produce to San Franciscans later this year, is the latest iteration of its indoor growing system, designed to grow food as efficiently as possible in any space, so cities anywhere can have access to locally grown vegetables—optimized for flavor—at any time of year"

Plenty

Staff Data Scientist

Data Scientist for a central Manufacturing Engineering data science team. The Manufacturing Engineering team designs the equipment and processes that run the factory. They also build many of the manufacturing data systems, the invisible factory that sits above the physical factory. I worked on manufacturing test algorithms (mostly around the battery) and manufacturing data systems/infrastructure (across many products/production-lines) to track/enforce/analyze/optimize the manufacturing processes in order to build great products at increasing scale. * Co-founded and later led a central manufacturing data science team* Initiated and led development of an internal enterprise manufacturing execution system (“Manufacturing Operating System”)* Developed and administered central data tools: R servers (RStudio Connect, RStudio Pro, Tesla CRAN), web-based SQL access, ETL and data storage infrastructure* Developed 10+ internal Tesla R packages* Built/deployed REST API for testing millions of Li-ion cells/day * Published 100s of pages of central, shared documentation
