Summary
Sangwu Lee is a machine learning engineer with nine years of experience delivering production-grade AI systems and research-driven ML solutions. He is currently shaping AI at krea.ai, after prior roles spanning Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Rochester where he bridged research, deployment, and product in medical AI and multimodal work. At CMU, he finetuned HuggingFace transformers across thousands of hours of training and achieved state-of-the-art accuracy on multimodal datasets, while developing a novel vision-language model that reduced parameters by 10x and inference costs by 15x. At the University of Rochester, he trained 250k+ models on an HPC cluster, built a Next.js-based dataset platform (Prisma, Tailwind, PlanetScale, Clerk), and deployed multiple ML services with FastAPI and Docker, driving 500% dataset growth. He is Open ML Research founder and founding engineer at QuizardAI, actively contributing to open ML research and tooling. Based in Rochester, NY, he combines a strong math plus CS foundation with hands-on leadership in AI development from research to production.
