Michelangelo D’Agostino
VP of Machine Learning, Tegus
Michelangelo D'Agostino is the VP of Machine Learning at Tegus, where he is exploring applications of large language models on reams of financial text data. Prior to Tegus, Michelangelo held data and machine learning leadership roles at Cameo--a marketplace for celebrity shout-out videos, ShopRunner--an ecommerce retail network that was acquired by FedEx, and Civis Analytics, a Chicago-based data science software and consulting company that spun out of the 2012 Obama reelection campaign. Michelangelo holds a PhD in particle astrophysics from UC Berkeley and got his start in analytics sifting through neutrino data from the IceCube experiment. Accordingly, he spent two glorious months at the South Pole, where he slept in a tent salvaged from the Korean War and enjoyed the twice-weekly shower rationing. He's also written about science and technology for the Economist.
