Mikel Bober-Irizar

I’m a machine learning engineer and researcher based in London. I like building at the intersection between AI and other fields, and have previously worked on hardware, privacy, security, ancient Japanese literature and more. I'm best known for my Kaggle results where I was ranked in the top 50 data scientists worldwide.

I currently work as a Founding Principal Engineer at Iconic Games, where I lead AI development on our first game, as well as contributing to game design and development. I’m excited about the role that runtime ML models can play in building entirely new experiences and genres of games, and can’t wait to share this project with the world.

I continue to do some research as a visitor at the University of Cambridge (and occasionally the University of Surrey), where I graduated with an MEng in 2023. My main research focus is currently on machine reasoning.

I’m also a (very part-time) Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Forecom.AI, advising on bioscience research and projects.

I’d love to chat, the best way to contact me is usually over email or twitter DM. I'm always interested in hearing from people with similar interests.
