Top SchoolOmid Alemi is a Staff AI Research Engineer with 14 years of experience building end-to-end ML systems, now focused on generative AI for 3D asset creation across e-commerce, gaming, and VR/AR. He has a rare combination of deep research (PhD-level work in generative human movement and expressive animation) and hands-on product delivery, having led ML from prototype to production at Nextech’s Toggle3D and currently at Blitz. His technical strengths span diffusion models, transformers, PyTorch, classical computer vision, and production full-stack deployments, and he routinely establishes ML roadmaps and core infrastructure from scratch. Comfortable shipping shipped systems in fast-moving startups, he also brings a strong academic grounding in interactive animation models (GrooveNet, WalkNet, AffectNet) that informs more creative, controllable generative pipelines.
