Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Marcus is a technical lead and AI engineer with ~10 years of experience building and shipping computer vision and perception systems across startups and research labs. He has led ML teams and architectures in production-constrained domains—autonomous inventory UAVs, logistics optimization, and cloud AI engines—bridging research-grade models with robust MLOps and field deployments. Trained as a cognitive neuroscientist at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh, he leverages human perception insights to inform model design and evaluation. He’s moved between hands-on roles (modeling, pipelines, edge inference) and leadership positions (CTO, team lead), scaling distributed teams and operations internationally. A multilingual creative, Austin brings uncommon cross-disciplinary skills—synesthesia-informed artistic practice, music composition, and wine expertise—that shape a distinctive, human-centered approach to ML systems. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic delivery to turn perceptual research into real-world, scalable products.
