Samuel Warren is a founding ML engineering lead based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building computer vision systems from prototype to production. He has led teams and hands-on projects across autonomous vehicle perception, video embeddings, 3D asset visual similarity, and manufacturing anomaly detection, repeatedly shipping scalable training and deployment pipelines. At Unity he accelerated 2D object detection training by 5x and created services like Asset2Vec and Campaign2Vec to monetize visual embeddings, and at Stats Perform he built real-time OCR and retraining infrastructure for live sports. More recently he progressed through senior and staff ML roles at Instrumental before founding SketchPro.ai to commercialize ML-driven vision products. He blends deep model work (PyTorch, distributed training) with cloud-native productionization (Argo, AWS, EKS) and a track record of improving throughput and model lifecycle automation. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer-manager who turns research prototypes into reliable, revenue-impacting services.
