Summary
Ulzee An is an ML/AI engineer with 11 years of experience bridging academic research and production systems, currently focused on explainable deep models at Google after completing a PhD in Computer Science at UCLA focused on machine learning for healthcare. Their background spans research roles at NYU and UCLA, an impactful research internship at Uber building probabilistic and deep learning models for real-time pricing, and co-founding a startup that deployed distributed systems on AWS. Ulzee combines deep theoretical training with hands-on engineering—designing large-scale Dockerized services, iOS/embedded prototypes, and feature-embedding methods for sensor data—which helps them translate complex neural architectures into interpretable, deployable solutions. Based in Los Angeles, they enjoy debating neural net architectures and emphasize model interpretability, a thread that ties together their academic publications and industry work.
