Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGianluca Corrado is a Principal Applied Scientist at Wayve with a decade of experience building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems, blending deep research instincts with production-focused engineering. He rose through research and applied roles at Wayve after prior work as a Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon, where he applied deep and reinforcement learning to large-scale, low-latency recommendation systems. Holding a PhD in Computer Science from Università di Trento, he bridges academic rigor and product delivery, focusing on models that work reliably in the wild. An active contributor to open-source tooling—evidenced by work on the rnacommender tool in the galaxytools repo—he brings practical improvements in model behavior, data handling, and precision management. Based in London, he combines scientific curiosity with hands-on backend and ML engineering to move cutting-edge research into deployed systems.
