Summary
Antonio Yepes is a machine learning researcher and engineer with deep expertise in Python (10+ years), Transformer architectures, LLMs and Vision-Language Models, and over 20 years of Java and traditional ML experience. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has driven document intelligence and RAG systems at startups and research labs, including founding AI engineering work at Unstructured and research leadership roles at IBM and RMIT. He bridges rigorous academic research—PhD work in information retrieval and biomedical text—with hands-on production deployments on AWS, Azure and the Hugging Face ecosystem. Known for translating deep research into product-ready solutions, he has also explored low-power synaptic chip ML and practical EEG/image analytics, an uncommon combination that underscores his focus on both novel architectures and efficient inference.
