</p><br>
<p> I am a machine learning applied scientist, engineer, and basketball player. I am interested
in the complete lifecycle of learning-based
systems from research to development, deployment, scaling, and improvement.
<!-- Large multi-modal deep networks are especially my favorite. -->
I worked with the full spectrum of data (tabular, graph, language, image, video, 3d), and developed various discriminative or generative models from LLMs to diffusion operating on such data.
</p>
<p>
I studied computer vision at <a href="https://www.ntnu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="external"
style="color: #00A6D6">NTNU</a> and completed my MSc thesis on unsupervised image
segmentation at
<a href="https://www.kuleuven.be/kuleuven/" target="_blank" rel="external"
style="color: #00A6D6">KU Leuven.</a>
Then I had a PhD adventure at <a href="https://www.tudelft.nl/en/" target="_blank"
rel="external" style="color: #00A6D6">TU Delft</a> where I worked on
fast registration algorithms for incomplete point cloud data.
<br>
<p> Currently, I am working on massive scale ML systems at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bol.com" target="_blank"
rel="external" style="color: #00A6D6">Bol</a>, the largest online shop in Benelux.
Previously, I researched deep networks and led architecting the ML cloud infrastructure at one of the largest
visual content companies, <a href="https://www.bright-river.com/" target="_blank"
rel="external" style="color: #00A6D6">Bright River</a>. You definitely saw my models in
action on your favorite e-commerce website (;
</p>
<p> I also write about deep learning at InfoQ, you can check my articles <a
href="https://www.infoq.com/profile/Sabri-Bolkar/" target="_blank" rel="external"
style="color: #00A6D6">here</a>.
