Summary
Ben Zimmer is a Senior Computer Vision Engineer with 11 years of experience building production ML and vision systems, currently applying his expertise at Reveal Technology. His background spans end-to-end ML work from low-level performance optimizations in C++, OpenCL/CUDA and Rust to transformer-based semantic search, entity extraction, and generative AI demos using both open-source LLMs and managed APIs. At 3M he moved projects from research to deployed products—shipping digital orthodontics, speaker verification, and real-time speech pipelines—and has led hiring and IP generation. Comfortable across research and engineering, he has repeatedly bridged prototype and production environments and often optimizes for real-time constraints that aren’t obvious from job titles alone. Based in Hudson, WI, he combines a software engineering degree with a music minor, reflecting a pattern of technical rigor paired with creative problem solving.
