Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Roelants is a founding research engineer and ML practitioner with 14 years of experience building production-ready AI systems across startups and enterprises, currently leading real-time digital persona work at Anam.ai while running an ML consultancy. He has deep expertise in applied research—shipping semantic NLP models at Twitter, leading OCR and document-extraction efforts at Onfido, and improving drug-discovery pipelines with mass spectrometry and multi-omics at Aspect Analytics. Early robotics and simulation work (notably extending the MORSE open-robotics simulator with a PR2 model and armature services) underscores a hands-on systems background that spans from low-level robotics to cloud ML products. Comfortable founding and scaling teams, he combines academic rigor from KU Leuven with pragmatic product delivery, often turning research prototypes into operational services.
