Summary
Omar Al-ejel is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience building production ML systems across autonomy and consumer platforms, currently on Waymo’s SimEval team. He previously drove video recommendation and ad-quality model consolidation at Meta and improved tracker models and dataset pipelines at Cruise, earning two patent filings for safety- and cost-saving features. A University of Michigan MEng in Computer Science, Omar combines strong engineering fundamentals (taught as a CS TA) with hands-on product launches at Apple—contributing to AirTag and Find My—and internships in health and security-focused teams. Comfortable bridging research, safety analysis, and cross-functional communication, he’s equally at home writing experiment reports for stakeholders as shipping models in large-scale systems. An early WWDC Scholar and multi-company intern, he brings a thoughtful mix of academic rigor, product-minded engineering, and a track record of measurable impact.
