“There is much hype around machine learning in the tech industry generally, but at Wayve, we are doing cutting-edge deep learning at a scale you don’t usually find in other companies.”
Meet Alex
I’m a Principal Engineer in the machine learning platform team, working on the code and cloud infrastructure that supports Wayve’s training and simulation.
Before Wayve, I worked in software, data and platform teams in the financial industry, including sports betting and hedge fund management. I left finance because I wanted a career that would positively impact society. Autonomous vehicles will have a massive, positive impact on our lives, and my role at Wayve was just what I was looking for.
I’m involved in computing at an industrial scale. It’s a pretty unique scenario. We’re doing cutting-edge deep learning at a scale you don’t usually find in other companies. And although we’re working on a huge problem, I can see the impact of my contribution on the progress we make day by day.
One of the things I love about Wayve is how the senior leadership team respects and values everyone’s input. That matters to me, and it’s not what I’ve always experienced in other companies. There’s a fantastic startup culture, too. You never know what conversation you will have when sitting at the lunch table! It’s a lot of fun.
