Summary
Leon Ciechanowski is a Director of Research & Development and AI researcher with a decade of experience building production-grade ML systems across fintech, VR-based HR assessment, and large-scale computer vision for event photography. He leads multidisciplinary teams to turn research into commercial products—most recently architecting an AI-driven enterprise forecasting platform and a patented multimodal re-identification pipeline that powers RunPixie’s rapid, GDPR-aware photo matching at major marathons. His work bridges cognitive science and engineering, combining NLP, social network analysis, and human–robot/interaction insights to tackle disinformation, automated assessment, and biosystems optimisation. Equally comfortable in academia (PhD in Psychology and postdoc roles including MIT) and startup execution, he is notable for inventing an “outfit embedding” approach that avoids biometric processing while improving re-identification accuracy.
