Ilai Giloh is a Staff ML Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building production machine learning and high-performance systems across companies from Apple to Pinecone and Wayve. He has led cross-functional teams to deliver on-device ML features for AR and camera systems and later spearheaded open-source RAG tooling and a B2B generative AI assistant at Pinecone. Comfortable from low-level C++ systems and real-time algorithms to end-to-end ML stack and deployment, he pairs deep engineering rigor with practical product delivery. An active contributor to notable open-source projects like Turi Create, he has improved activity classification, test coverage, and train-validation logic—demonstrating attention to both model correctness and developer experience. Colleagues rely on him to translate ambiguous research problems into robust, testable production solutions. He holds a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and brings an unusual blend of telecom/networking roots and modern generative AI leadership.
