Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Ruan is a Machine Learning Engineer II with nine years of experience building and deploying large-scale ML and GenAI systems across big tech, startups, and academic research. At AWS he led production LLM and BERT-like deployments—designing PII redaction and GenAI security services that cut redaction costs by over 60% and enabled real-time RAG workflows—while also shaping team roadmaps to break organizational deadlock. He previously founded and ran the engineering stack for a ticketing startup that powered 200+ events, sold 3,500+ tickets, and landed venue partnerships including Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, owning on-call and investor technical defenses. His research work at Michigan blends one-shot learning and medical imaging with practical deployments, and he brings deep full‑stack chops from infrastructure-as-code to mobile apps and ETL pipelines. Based in Seattle, Alex combines production-grade ML infra skills with a founder’s operational rigor and a persistent focus on measurable impact.
