Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Itzcovich is a Co-Founder and machine learning engineer with 10 years of experience building high-volume conversational AI systems and CX agents across LATAM. He combines hands-on ML engineering—evidenced by near-real-time face detection work and production ML roles at ASAPP and Gantry—with startup leadership as founder/lead at multiple ventures. As an adjunct professor in algorithms and a Microsoft engineering intern alumnus, he blends solid academic foundations (MEng, ITBA) with practical product delivery. Ivan has repeatedly taken models from prototype to deployed services, focusing on scalable, CPU-efficient solutions that work in constrained environments. Based in Vicente López, Buenos Aires, he’s also an amateur surfer, hinting at a taste for iterative risk-taking and persistence outside the lab.
