Senior🎓
Top SchoolSikandar Mashayak is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer and Engineering Manager at Apple with 14 years of experience building multimodal AI systems for human perception and embodied products. He leads a team developing vision transformers, diffusion models, and cross-modal encoders that power features like EyeSight on Vision Pro and personalized spatial audio on iOS, owning the full lifecycle from data collection to on-device optimization. His background in neural network quantization and pruning at Wave Computing informs a strong focus on AI/HW co-design and tight latency/memory constraints for mobile inference. A PhD from UIUC underpins his work with rigorous optimization methods for probability modeling and molecular simulation, and his HPC internships at Sandia and Los Alamos reflect deep hands-on experience porting and vectorizing simulation kernels for GPUs and many-core processors. Notably, he combines cutting-edge research with product-driven delivery, having led cross-functional teams to ship perceptual improvements that materially affect end-user experience.
