Alexander Kuhnle is a London-based founding engineer and AI leader with a decade of experience turning machine learning research into product-grade systems. He has built and led teams up to 18 people, driving initiatives from LLM optimisation for on-device deployment at Zebra to establishing and productionising Smart Vision and cloud-hosted ML services at Blue Prism. As sole maintainer and lead developer of Tensorforce, he contributed core network layers and architecture improvements to a widely used TensorFlow reinforcement learning library. His background spans hands-on engineering (OCR, GUI understanding, generative tabular models) and research—he holds a PhD from Cambridge and has supervised award-winning MPhil projects. Notably, his career mixes deep RL open-source contributions with practical device-constrained LLM optimisation and past work in bioinformatics, reflecting broad technical curiosity and delivery focus.
