Summary
Jose Rivera-rubio is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist with 11 years of experience building end-to-end AI products and scalable data platforms across startups and enterprise acquisitions. He leads engineering teams that handle very large, multimodal datasets (video, review text, event streams) and has taken ML products from research prototypes to production APIs and cloud deployments. His skill set spans ML research (computer vision, NLP, personality insights), big-data engineering (Spark, Databricks, Kinesis), and infra/CI-CD (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform), enabling continuous intelligence and reproducible ML lifecycles. He holds a PhD in Computer Vision from Imperial College London, where he developed biologically inspired visual localisation algorithms now applied beyond academia. Notably, he designed and operationalised MLflow-based lifecycle tooling and unified analytics pipelines to scale predictive hiring models across multiple merged companies. Based in London, he combines deep research roots with pragmatic engineering to deliver measurable product impact.
