Jake Stevens-Haas
Recent Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, with original research on ML for physics. Along the way, began maintaining pysindy, a library for Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics and occasionally contributing to NumFOCUS projects. What I love about open source is the opportunity for people of all backgrounds, countries, and ages to learn production-quality software development skills. I've felt welcomed and grateful for all my interactions with the community. Formerly, I was an officer in the U.S. Navy, sailing ships around the world, so research and engineering was a huge career transition.
I live in Seattle, where I play hockey and read a bunch.
I'm looking for work at the nexus of ML research and engineering.

Looking to contribute to open source, but wasn’t sure where to start? Want to level up your skills in debugging, programming, collaboration and more? Curious about how to fix a bug or add a feature you’re missing in your favorite software project? Come to our special newcomer sprint to learn how and try it for yourself! Newcomers to Python or open source are welcome and encouraged, as well as attendees with open source experience to help guide them!
