Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Lofgren is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and scaling distributed AI/ML and data infrastructure, currently accelerating ML training at Zoox. He has led teams that operate petabyte-scale, multi-modal datasets and thousands of GPUs, bridging research and production with reliable, observable training and inference platforms. His background spans hands-on systems work—from data pipelines and database fleets at CircleCI to ML frameworks at Torc—paired with hiring, mentorship, and process-driven team growth. Based in California, he combines deep technical fluency with a pragmatic focus on performance profiling and optimization, often collaborating cross-functionally to turn research prototypes into production-grade systems. An early-career mix of front-end and backend work gives him a practical appreciation for the full stack of ML delivery, not just the model.
