Summary
👤
SeniorAndrew Prock is a seasoned software engineer with over two decades of experience blending machine learning, computer vision, and large-scale e-commerce search systems into production-grade solutions. He has led search and catalog engineering at Rakuten, built multi-modal vector search and relevance metrics at startups, and now focuses on low-friction integrations for multi-modal ML at Ford while continuing long-term contributions to poker evaluation tooling. His background spans academic research (MS/PhD work in computer vision at UW–Madison) and hands-on system design—from terabyte-scale ML for automated agents to replatforming search stacks and MLOps. A mathematician by training and an entrepreneur at heart, he also authored core evaluation libraries for the well-known PokerStove project, reflecting a decades-long interest in applied game theory and high-performance back-end code.
