Top SchoolYannis He is an AI product manager and founder with 8 years of experience building end-to-end AI and robotics products, currently shaping agent and product strategy at Scale AI in San Francisco. He blends research-grade ML (first-authored papers and a model performance predictor at Vector Institute) with hands-on engineering—shipping full-stack systems at Amazon and patent-backed LiDAR improvements at Huawei. As a founder he led a 10-person startup that used transfer learning and CV to deliver a cost-effective posture health product, and he’s repeatedly led large multidisciplinary teams in robotics competitions and design projects. Comfortable across 3D perception, multimodal CV, and production APIs, he focuses on making complex models practical and efficient (e.g., speeding model generation pipelines 15x and cutting costs by 94%). Notably, he pairs deep technical contributions with business acumen from Rotman and consulting at Bain, enabling rapid translation of research into viable products.
