Ben Bates

Hi! I'm currently in my third year of software engineering at the University of Waterloo. I am looking for 2025 internships.

I most recently worked on building and rolling out a feature store redesign at Faire on the ML Platform team. I will be returning in Winter 2025 to help create an internal framework for ML model development. Previously, I worked on the ML Platform team at Kindred AI, where I created the company's first inference service to handle on-robot ML inference and standardized segmentation model training across teams. Before that, I worked on GNNs at TD, and human activity recognition + recommendations at Intellisports.
