Raphael Jafri is a founder and AI leader based in New York who specializes in taking computer vision and large language model projects from prototype to production at enterprise scale. Over four years in ML roles, he rose through Labelbox from support engineer to Head of Customer AI Solutions, managing professional services and technical account teams that co-engineer data-centric ML pipelines for top customers. He combines hands-on full-stack experience (Swift, React, Node.js, Go) with applied cryptography, model training and inference—skills proven while founding a stealth mobile startup and building open-source data connectors at Labelbox. Comfortable bridging sales, product and engineering, he is known for pragmatic solutions across use cases from content moderation to generative AI and robotics (yes, he’s worked on looking for aliens in space). His background in consulting and quantitative roles gives him a rare mix of customer-facing strategy and deep technical execution.

This library makes it easy to take unstructured data in your Data Lake and prepare it for analysis and AI work in Databricks. The Labelbox Connector for Apache Spark takes in a Spark DataFrame to create a dataset in Labelbox, and it also brings labeled, structured data back into Databricks also as a Spark DataFrame.
