London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefano Bragaglia is a Principal AI Scientist and project leader with a PhD in AI and over a decade of experience translating research-grade knowledge representation into production-grade enterprise AI. At AstraZeneca he has redefined failing projects, scaled ML pipelines, cut AWS costs by half while boosting data throughput 2.5x, and led cross-functional teams that advanced drug-discovery analytics. His strengths span knowledge graphs, generative and deep learning, ontology-driven architectures and high-performance graph systems he built previously at a startup (including a Neo4j-like in-memory engine 10x faster). He combines hands-on engineering—designing pipelines, optimising inference and building precision ML models—with strategic alignment to senior leadership. Equally comfortable mentoring PhD students and shipping commercial IP, he has driven publications and patents from concept to deployment. London-based, he brings a rare blend of academic rigour and practical scaling experience in biotech and early-stage AI products.
