Summary
Yakup Gorur is a Senior Software Engineer and Machine Learning specialist with nine years of experience building full-stack AI platforms and production ML infrastructure across industries from retail and airlines to autonomous vehicles and asset inspection. He combines research-led innovation—publishing in IEEE and pursuing a PhD—with hands-on delivery of scalable systems, including a T3-stack AI platform, cloud batch pipelines for terabytes of data, and inference/training servers integrated with AWS and MLflow. Yakup’s background spans computer vision, NLP, self-supervised and few-shot learning, and embedded/FPGA work for lane detection, reflecting a rare mix of academic depth and low-level systems engineering. At mindtrace.ai he led projects that improved model performance via SSL and transfer learning, and at OBSS he drove an AI sports analytics product used by over 10,000 users and a proctoring MVP adopted by universities. Now based in Oxford and focusing on data engineering at Oxa, he’s known for prototyping novel approaches quickly and turning them into production features that measurably enhance user experience.
