Adam Frees is an AI Engineering Manager in Madison, WI with 11 years of experience applying research-grade rigor to production ML systems. He holds a PhD in condensed matter physics/quantum computing and has moved from academic nonlinear optimization and quantum-device modeling into leading teams that deploy large-scale CV and NLP models in production. At Fetch he built agentic LLM prototypes for text-to-SQL RAG workflows, standardized model deployment frameworks, and led a 10+ engineer team to productize those systems for external partners. His background includes architecting containerized, IaC-driven ML platforms on AWS and Azure, shipping CV pipelines that process millions of receipts daily, and building transformer-based APIs for insurance risk prediction. Colleagues rely on him to bridge C-suite strategy and hands-on engineering—he pairs deep technical authorship (multiple first-author publications) with pragmatic delivery and an unexpected fondness for bad movies.
