Summary
Alex Lavaee is a software engineer at Microsoft with five years of experience building scalable AI/ML infrastructure, distributed systems, and perception-focused robotics solutions. He bridges cutting-edge research and production—authoring SpatialDINO, a spatial self-supervised framework for molecular and cellular representation learning at Harvard and a 3D self-supervised model for human motion at Boston University. His industry work spans optimizing large-scale pipelines (including a 2TB→20GB LiDAR compression at Themis AI), medical AI (an FDA-processing model for severe aortic stenosis detection and a private LLM-based medical chatbot at Edwards Lifesciences), and full-stack MLOps. A summa cum laude Data Science graduate from Boston University (GPA 3.95), he combines rigorous academic training with hands-on product engineering across startups and enterprise teams.
