Vicki Boykis
Vicki Boykis is a founding ML engineer and one of the most respected voices in applied machine learning. Known for making complex systems legible through rigorous writing and dry wit, she runs the Normcore Tech newsletter, authored a widely-cited deep dive on embeddings, built Viberary (a semantic book recommendation engine), and created Normconf - an unconventional data conference celebrating the unglamorous realities of ML work. She brings an economist's skepticism and a software engineer's discipline to a field that often confuses hype for progress.
