Summary
Radu Sibechi is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Amsterdam with a decade of experience building and shipping production-grade ML systems across startups and scale-ups. He has led ML research and engineering teams to deploy pipelines and 15+ models for image personalization, million-scale vector similarity, and RAG-based Q&A, and has fine-tuned diffusion and LLM models for domain-specific use cases. His work spans medical imaging (state-of-the-art osteoarthritis x‑ray classifiers), real‑time document/image unwarping, and applied computer vision for productization, reflecting a rare blend of research rigor and production engineering. Comfortable architecting ETL and cloud-native deployments in Google Cloud, he also runs risk‑storming and architecture sessions to align ML work with product tradeoffs. Known for a curiosity-driven approach (his Lewis Carroll motto), he brings pragmatic creativity to thorny data-limited problems and model scaling. Outside formal profiles he signs off as a “good kid mad city,” hinting at a playful but focused engineering persona.
