Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLudovico Bessi is a Machine Learning Engineer at Google with nine years of experience building large-scale ML systems across abuse detection, YouTube Ads, and YouTube Shopping. He has led technical efforts to deploy Transformer-based multimodal user behavior models to prevent abuse at scale and contributed to recommendation and ad-serving pipelines that optimize user relevance. Trained as a mathematical engineer with a strong optimization and statistics background from Politecnico di Torino, he blends rigorous theory with production-grade software engineering. His early work includes differentiable surrogate models for differential equations (Surrogates.jl) and optimization-accelerating ML tools in Julia, reflecting a continual interest in scientific ML and efficient algorithms. Based in Zurich, he shares technical deep dives on systems-at-scale via his Substack, signaling an active engagement with the research and practitioner communities.
