Summary
Francesco Cognolato is a founder and machine learning engineer with eight years of experience building production-grade AI systems and data platforms, currently scaling EnsembleData to serve large volumes of social media data via robust APIs. His background spans deep learning research—patented work on Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping—industry deployments (Airbus, Jetson/TensorRT) and ML-driven trading with a Deep RL startup, showing a rare blend of research rigor and product focus. He teaches graduate courses in OOP, data science and deep learning, translating complex concepts into practical skills for students. Fluent across the stack from C++/CUDA and TensorFlow to Python and full-stack web tech, he favors hands-on experimentation as a route to understanding—"what I cannot create, I do not understand"—and applies that craft to both startups and applied research.
