👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Sommerlot is a Director of Machine Learning with a decade of experience turning research-grade models into production APIs and B2B products, currently leading ML at GetReal Security from Austin. He has a track record of building and scaling ML teams and infrastructure across startups and industry—shifting organizations from SaaS to cloud/API-first delivery and deploying computer vision and predictive systems for clients including the US Department of Defense. His background blends a PhD-level approach to deep learning, Bayesian and physics-informed models with hands-on product delivery in areas like cognitive load analysis, video-signal extraction, and operational risk management. He has repeatedly moved prototypes into production (including embedded camera pilots for real-world safety use cases) and managed end-to-end ML lifecycles from data pipeline to API. Known for pairing technical depth with program-level strategy, he also brings cross-domain experience from environmental science modeling to emerging AI products.
