Magdy Saleh is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in New York with a decade of experience building scalable ML systems and production-ready model training workflows. Currently at Predibase, he focuses on low-code ML platforms and distributed training, having contributed to the Ludwig framework to improve progress reporting in Ray-based distributed training. His background spans applied ML roles at Gridspace and academic instruction at Stanford (CS221, CS103), grounded in an MS in Computer Science from Stanford and a BE in Biomedical Engineering from UCL. Magdy blends research-minded rigor with practical engineering, evidenced by work on tooling that makes large-scale model training more observable and reliable. He brings cross-domain experience from finance internships to biomedical simulation research, giving him a pragmatic, systems-oriented perspective on ML problems.
