Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Sobey is a co-founder and machine learning practitioner with eight years of experience applying data-driven solutions to renewable energy challenges. Trained as a chemical engineer at Stellenbosch University, he blended engineering fundamentals with data science during multi-year roles from project engineering to senior data scientist at RES. Now based in Sydney, he leads Astrix AI, where he translates deep learning and AI research into practical products for the energy sector. His background across hands-on engineering and ML production work gives him a rare ability to bridge plant-level operational constraints and scalable algorithmic models. Comfortable moving between Python-driven modeling and system deployment, he is motivated by commercial impact and decarbonisation. An early-career pattern of shifting from engineering site work to AI-led product leadership hints at a practitioner who builds both models and the teams that put them into service.
