Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Tamassia is an AI software engineer and senior scientist with 11 years of experience turning ML research into production-grade systems, now focused on generative AI and scalable architectures at the intersection of technology and mental health. He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from RMIT and has led constrained optimisation and timetabling solutions as Senior AI Engineer at Compass Education. Comfortable across the stack, Marco combines research rigor (GANs, HMMs) with pragmatic engineering in Python and Bash to build robust, adaptable AI frameworks. His background spans academia and industry—from game-level generation and player churn prediction to automated grading tools—bringing a rare mix of applied research and product delivery. Based in Melbourne, he has a strong track record of guiding technical direction while shipping production-ready ML systems. A less obvious strength is his early hands-on web and education work, which informs his ability to communicate complex AI concepts to non-specialist stakeholders.
