Summary
Alvaro Moran is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Toulouse with 11 years of experience building embedded software, firmware and ML tooling across startups and large corporations. He moved from low-level roles—developing RTOS firmware, SoC bring-ups and Linux drivers at Intel, Parrot and others—into ML-focused engineering, having spent six years developing the Akida neural processor software stack (C++/Python, TensorFlow, ONNX) before joining Hugging Face. His background uniquely blends hardware-aware optimization and production ML deployment, making him adept at squeezing performance from constrained systems. Accustomed to cross-disciplinary teams, he has led power management and board bring-up efforts as well as platform design for automotive and IoT products. Fluent in both systems and ML ecosystems, he brings pragmatic engineering judgment to turn research models into robust, deployable solutions.
