Download ResumeMy name is Mitchell Karchemsky. I have a degree in Cognitive Science and Computer Science, focusing in Computational Modelling from UC Berkeley; and a Masters degree in Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley. My interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Embedded Systems, Teaching, and Coffee.
I served as Research Staff at the Berkeley Institute of Design under Björn Hartmann focusing on HCI topics such as Learning & Expertise Sharing, Interactive Device Design & Fabrication, and Tools for Embedded Systems
Previously, I worked at Accenture as a Prinicipal Technical Architect focusing on Innovative Products and Traeger as a Senior Lead Software Engineer focusing on Connected Platforms, Data Science, and Robust Scalable Systems
I currently teach Machine Learning Systems Architecture at UC Berkeley
