Enrique Marquez is an ML Technical Leader with a PhD in Computer Science and a decade of experience building production-focused machine learning and computer vision systems. He leads cross-functional teams at Mercado Libre after directing computer vision efforts at Scanntech and advancing text-detection research as a postdoc at the University of Southampton. Enrique emphasizes pragmatic, full data–driven ML: he prioritizes robust evaluation and software–ML partnership to ensure models translate to real-world metrics rather than just high lab scores. He favors starting with strong baselines and iterating on data and tests before diving into complex modeling, reducing production surprises. Based in Uruguay, he blends academic rigor with hands-on engineering, pairing deep research experience with product-minded delivery. Colleagues note his curiosity for new AI applications and his habit of treating evaluation design as a first-class engineering task.
