Summary
Mohammad Akbari is a Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience and a PhD in Applied Mathematics, specializing in applied ML, control theory, and scalable production systems. He has built end-to-end fraud detection and personalization pipelines that materially reduced false positives and boosted engagement, and his research on online learning and reinforcement control delivered provable regret improvements and low-complexity algorithms. Comfortable moving between research and production, he implements MLOps, real-time scoring, and marketplace optimization using tools like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Spark. As an AI trainer he has improved generative models’ mathematical reasoning and led dataset curation and red-teaming to increase robustness. Based in Kingston, Ontario, he combines rigorous theoretical insight with hands-on engineering to tackle complex, high-stakes ML problems.
