Soheil Esmaeilzadeh, Ph.D.

I'm a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Meta (aka Facebook) in California. Prior to joining Meta, I worked at Apple as an ML Software Engineer where I worked on adding ML & AI -backed features to a subgroup of Apple products. I have done my Ph.D. research at Stanford University where I worked on a wider range of projects in the areas of applied machine learning, artificial intelligence, computational science, and numerical modeling. I'm interested in using ML & AI to solve challenging real-world problems. I have 5+ years of demonstrated experience in software development, large-scale data analysis, and building machine learning and deep learning models for different applications such as computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. I have worked across the United States and Europe in different tech companies such as Apple, Netflix, Visa Research, Quantum Reservoir Impact, CalWave, and ABB.
