Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMario Castro is a Senior Artificial Intelligence Engineer based in Tokyo with 15 years of experience building cutting-edge ML and robotics systems. He currently leads AI development at SonyAI on ACE, a table-tennis robot showcased on Nature's cover, and previously advanced reinforcement learning applications for robotics, autonomous driving and games at Preferred Networks. Trained in mathematics and computer science at École Polytechnique and École Normale Supérieure, he blends theoretical depth with practical engineering from internships at Google and research roles across Europe. A longtime competitive programmer and C++ back-end contributor (solutions to ACM ICPC–style problems), he brings strong algorithmic rigor to real-world control and perception problems. Known for turning research into robust products, he thrives at the intersection of RL research, embedded systems, and high-performance software.
