Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Lee is a research-focused software engineer and PhD candidate in AI based in Wellington, New Zealand, with eight years of experience building robust ML and distributed systems. He has bridged academic research and production-grade tooling as a founding contributor and core maintainer of CapyMOA, a Python library for data stream learning with PyTorch and online continual learning support that gained notable community traction. His work spans continual learning, data stream mining, and adaptive cloud systems, including deploying Kubernetes clusters and building resilient stream processing for agricultural robotics. At Victoria University and Waikato he combined research, teaching, and hands-on engineering—managing CI/CD, releases, and community contributions for research software. Anton’s background includes industry experience at a storage/processing startup and a track record of turning research prototypes into maintained open-source tools. He favors practical solutions to catastrophic forgetting and adapting ML systems to changing data in real-world environments.
