Summary
Mario Drumond is a researcher and technology leader with 11+ years building AI systems, FPGA accelerators, and full-stack solutions across academia and industry. He earned a PhD-level research background at EPFL focused on machine learning accelerators and near-memory processing, followed by hands-on work accelerating DNNs on FPGA platforms during internships at Microsoft. As CTO of CodeDepot he translated research into product-grade ML and systems engineering, fostering cross-functional teams and a culture of innovation. Currently at Huawei, he continues to bridge cutting-edge research with large-scale engineering delivery. Comfortable in low-level hardware design and high-level AI systems, he brings rare breadth from embedded C/C# tooling to system architectures for ML acceleration. Based in Lausanne, he pairs deep technical rigor with a practical drive to move prototypes into production.
