Summary
Arsal Syed is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and nine years of experience building production-grade AI systems across predictive maintenance, computer vision, and generative AI. Based in Las Vegas, he has led MLOps and large-scale training pipelines at Maven Wave and now focuses on signal processing and predictive maintenance at AssetWatch®, combining research rigor from his UNLV postdoc with hands-on deployment experience. His background spans autonomous driving pedestrian trajectory prediction, connected-vehicle edge inference, and industrial sensor anomaly detection, giving him a rare blend of academic depth and practical engineering. He designs RAG-enabled conversational systems, CI/CD for ML, and recommendation and anomaly detection engines on cloud platforms, while mentoring teams and shaping go-to-market AI strategies. Notably, his corpus of academic work on pedestrian behavior underpins real-world safety and autonomy projects, reflecting a consistent thread of turning deep research into operational systems.
