Marklyton Holmes serves as the Chief Technology Officer at Who We Play For, where he is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to combat pediatric Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) through advanced Machine Learning techniques. With a deep commitment to improving the safety of student athletes, Marklyton is leading a transformative project that aims to create a predictive model capable of detecting early warning signs of SCA, a condition that tragically claims the lives of young athletes and ranks as the leading medical cause of death in individuals under 25.
Under Marklyton’s leadership, the team is leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including Python for data analysis and machine learning algorithms, alongside robust cloud infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). His expertise in Agile methodologies ensures that the development process remains flexible and responsive to the evolving needs of the project. Additionally, Marklyton's proficiency in programming languages such as C and JavaScript, along with his experience in database management using SQL and MySQL, allows for the seamless integration of complex data sets essential for accurate predictions.
Marklyton's passion for technology and its potential to save lives drives his commitment to this critical initiative. By collaborating closely with Parent Heart Watch and other stakeholders, he is not only advancing the technical aspects of the project but also raising awareness about the importance of SCA detection in youth sports. His vision is clear: to harness the power of technology to create a safer environment for young athletes, ultimately reducing the incidence of this preventable tragedy.
