Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaphael Alabi is a VP of AI & Machine Learning based in California with a rare blend of deep hardware engineering and applied machine learning experience spanning over a decade across semiconductor manufacturing and enterprise AI. He holds a Master's in Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley and advanced AI and cybersecurity credentials from Stanford, and leads ML strategy and teams at SAP after senior roles at DocuSign and Intel. Raphael’s technical repertoire covers deep learning (CNNs, RNNs, BiLSTM/LSTM, GRU), graph neural networks (GAT, GraphSAGE), meta-learning and foundation models, plus production toolchains like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face and AWS distributed systems. He pairs hands-on modeling with systems-level experience in C++, PySpark and large-scale data engineering, enabling him to move research into robust, secure production services. Unusually for an AI leader, his background in materials science and semiconductor process engineering gives him a strong intuition for low-level systems constraints and data-driven yield optimization. He is known for bridging research, product and operations to deliver scalable, security-aware AI solutions in enterprise environments.
