Summary
Michael Wan is an engineering professional and UC Berkeley EECS student focused on computer vision, optimization, robotics, and reinforcement learning, with a strong interest in autonomous vehicles. He currently develops autonomous systems software at Applied Intuition and has applied ML and control methods to real-world problems—from multi-agent RL for Google’s Core Crawl Scheduler to optimal UAV flight planning and radiation-detection payload integration in Berkeley’s Hybrid Systems Lab. His internships span production-focused tooling and research: anomaly detection on graph embeddings at Capital One, cloud automation and Kubernetes tooling at Keysight, and ML-driven malware detection at Zingbox. Early leadership founding a nonprofit tutoring organization and leading FIRST robotics vision and electrical teams shows he pairs technical depth with people-first project leadership. Notably, he has hands-on experience taking algorithms from research to autonomous hardware in complex environments like the Port of Oakland.
