Chris Padwick is a Technical Fellow at Blue River Technology, where he builds computer vision and deep learning models that help John Deere's machines distinguish crop from weed at scale. He holds an M.Sc. in Physics from the University of British Columbia and has spent over two decades in applied ML, from satellite imagery at DigitalGlobe to precision agriculture. In his spare time, he builds autonomous Kaggle-solving agents — and occasionally gets outperformed by them.
