Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Rawles is a machine learning engineer with 12 years of research and commercial experience, now applying ML at Kaluza after driving applied AI projects across startups and academia. He builds end-to-end systems that span computer vision, NLP and knowledge-graph-backed search—shipping production pipelines from custom hardware on farms to game-dialogue generators and large-language-model distillations. His background blends a PhD in machine learning with hands-on R&D leadership at SwiftKey and Principals roles that produced novel recommender, similarity and data-cleaning systems. Notably, he has translated domain expertise into practical models in diverse areas such as ovine obstetrics, interactive game NPCs, and product search, often collaborating closely with non-technical stakeholders. He combines deep algorithmic thinking with pragmatic engineering: designing pipelines, optimising databases, and deploying explainable ML in real environments.
