Sebastian Claici is an AI research engineer with 13 years of experience building and operationalizing machine learning systems, currently enabling generative AI at Hudson River Trading after a sequence of senior AI and engineering leadership roles at Datavant and hands-on engineering at Google. He holds an MS and PhD-level background from MIT and brings deep research roots in robotics and semi-supervised activity recognition to practical, production-focused ML. At Datavant he moved rapidly from hands-on data science to head of AI and principal ML engineering, demonstrating an ability to translate research into company-wide generative AI use cases. Based in New York, he blends rigorous academic training with fast-paced industry delivery, and is comfortable shipping experimental research into high-stakes production environments. An uncommon strength is his cross-domain fluency—from modular robotics path planning to large-scale generative models—allowing him to bridge novel research and applied engineering effectively.
