Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Hossler is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building computer vision and ML systems for cloud and edge deployment. His career spans moonshot research at X's Moonshot Factory, robotic perception and MLOps at AMP Robotics, and product-defining work as an early engineer at Aquabyte and AI.Reverie, including building synthetic-data pipelines and deploying models on embedded devices. He blends R&D (object detection, segmentation, sensor fusion, LLMs/diffusion for design) with production-focused ML infra—Kubernetes, Terraform, Triton, and end-to-end data workflows. Thomas also consults on geospatial AI and cloud infrastructure for energy and industrial projects, drawing on an academic grounding in geosciences from top French and U.S. institutions. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable prototyping research ideas and steering their operationalization at scale.
