Summary
Burak Gonultas is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Sunnyvale with eight years of interdisciplinary experience spanning robotics, reinforcement learning, and applied ML for fraud detection. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota and has blended academic research—differentiable physics, multi-agent deep RL, and field robotics with ROS2 and LiDAR—with industry work building production ML solutions. Recent roles include AI/ML internships tackling bust-out credit card fraud and a current Machine Learning Engineer position at Noble Machines, reflecting a shift from research prototypes to deployed systems. Burak’s background in both electronics/computer engineering and hands-on sensor/trajectory work gives him a practical edge when bridging perception, planning, and learning in real-world robots and ML products. Not obvious from titles alone, he has taught core systems and C/C++ courses, signaling strong foundations in low-level systems that inform his ML engineering.
