Senior🎓
Top SchoolMateo Restrepo is a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision with 11 years of experience building and productionizing ML systems across fintech, proptech, and enterprise settings. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and has led ML teams—most recently architecting La Haus’s feature store, personalized recommendation pipelines, and a GPT-4–backed RAG chat system for home-buyer leads. At N-iX he collaborates with Cricut’s ML research team on fine-tuning vision models, deploying content-assistant APIs, and mining semantic embeddings to uncover underserved clip-art topics. His background combines deep quantitative modeling from high-frequency quant systems to applied computer vision, and he brings a practical bent for turning research-grade models into scalable customer-facing services. Based in Medellín, he pairs a strong academic pedigree with hands-on deployment experience and a quirky passion for Go (the game), ping-pong, and culinary experiments.
