Summary
Samee Ibraheem is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience bridging academic NLP research and production ML systems, currently working at Sony Honda Mobility in Tokyo. A UC Berkeley PhD whose research used NLP to analyze and translate communication differences across speaker context, he has applied that expertise as a founding ML engineer at Lamini, helping non-ML engineers train and evaluate custom LLMs for customers like iFIT and Copy.ai. His background includes research and internships at Google and Facebook focused on machine and unsupervised translation, plus teaching and mentoring undergraduates and marginalized students—reflecting a strong commitment to equity in tech. Fluent in both research and product delivery, he combines deep technical skills (TensorFlow, Transformers, seq2seq) with practical experience shipping ML features in industry. An unusual strength is his cross-disciplinary training in neurobiology, CS, and Arabic from Harvard, which informs his human-centered approach to language technologies.
