Raul Sampedro is a seasoned Head of Software Engineering with 12 years of experience building production ML, robotics, computer vision and simulation systems that bridge research and shipped products. He combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, having led teams at startups and major labs including OpenAI, Everyday Robots (X/Alphabet), ICON, and Anki to deliver deployed robots, production ML pipelines and AAA games. His research pedigree includes peer-reviewed work in reinforcement learning and robotics and contributions to an AI book, while at ICON he helped release vitruvius.ai and an open-source straight skeleton library for computational geometry. Comfortable across C++, Python and large-scale ML stacks, he excels at solving hard autonomy and perception edge cases and translating novel models into reliable systems. Based in the Bay Area, Raul is known for rapid domain adaptation, mentoring engineers, and an operational focus that turns cutting-edge research into usable products. An offbeat detail: his Github bio modestly reads “just doing things sometimes ;)” despite a track record of influential, production-facing OSS and research contributions.
