Sunil Mallya is an engineering and ML leader with 11+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems and production-grade AI products, from Zynga API gateways to AWS Comprehend. He co-founded Neon Labs (raised $5.5M) to apply neuroscience and ML to video thumbnail generation and later invented and led AWS DeepRacer’s RL algorithms and product development. At AWS he scaled multidisciplinary teams, led NLP and healthcare ML research, and contributed to Amazon’s COVID-19 simulation and response work. A prolific inventor and researcher, he has ~29 patents filed across ML, RL, NLP and distributed systems and publications at NeurIPS, ICML and ICRA. Sunil combines hands-on systems engineering (serverless map-reduce and serverless ML prototypes) with research rigor, favoring cross-domain problems that require creative, multi-disciplinary solutions. Based in San Francisco, he is driven by developer-centric LLMs and a continual curiosity to push ML from lab to live services.
