Summary
Michal Lis is a people-focused AI engineering manager with nine years of hands-on experience building and scaling production machine learning systems across startups and enterprise settings. Currently leading AI engineering at deepsense.ai, he previously grew PolyAI’s ML organization from an early hire to a transatlantic team delivering conversational voice agents for customer service. His background spans deep learning in legal tech, full‑stack development, and an MSc in Machine Learning from UCL, giving him both product-facing and research-informed instincts. Known for pragmatism—“machine learning that works”—he emphasizes tooling and processes that make models reliable in production while coaching teams to ship. Unusually for an engineering manager, he combines aerospace engineering fundamentals with broad European study exchanges, reflecting a systems mindset and adaptable, cross-cultural collaboration.
