Welcome to my personal website!
Hi, I’m Mike McIntire, an AI and data science leader based in Kansas City. I build high-performing teams and embed AI as a strategic capability across organizations.
My career started in geophysics, where I developed a deep appreciation for using data to solve complex, real-world problems. That foundation led me to make a deliberate pivot into data science, and over the past five years I’ve moved from individual contributor to director, building a high-performing AI and data science organization.
I’m passionate about data literacy, ethical and human-centered AI, and open source technology. I believe AI works best when it augments people, not replaces them, and when the entire organization understands and trusts the data behind it.
This site highlights my technical work, open source contributions, and professional journey.
My Open Source Projects
During my time at ThinkOnward, I had the opportunity to work on numerous innovative projects. We were able to open source some of the projects, including the Geophysical Foundation Model (GFM). This is an innovative model that builds upon the ViT MAE architecture, but masks geophysical traces, rather than pixels.
I also worked on the Challenges platform, designing geodata science challenges for our diverse and innovative community of experts.
