Co-Founder at Smells Like ML
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSalma Mayorquin is a Co-Founder and machine learning engineer with nine years of experience building production-ready AI and data systems from prototype to deployment in the San Francisco Bay Area. At Remyx AI she helps non-experts customize and train deployment-ready models without code, drawing on prior roles at Databricks where she guided clients on ML/Deep Learning architectures and at Heritage where she built HIPAA-compliant AWS pipelines and search applications. A hands-on developer and hardware tinkerer, Salma contributes to open-source ML projects like ActionAI—improving pose-based activity recognition with LSTMs and data augmentations—and runs a consulting practice, Smells Like ML, that delivers practical ML solutions and demos. She pairs an applied mathematics background from UC Berkeley with a knack for translating researchy models into usable products, and she’s equally comfortable debugging model training pipelines as prototyping robotics and embedded systems.
