Hi, I'm Brian Su.

I'm a machine learning engineer with a passion for using technology to solve complex problems. I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in computer science, but my enthusiasm for the field led me to take several graduate courses in deep learning and computer vision. During my time at Berkeley, I was a recipient of the Cal Leadership Award and conducted research in two different labs. I worked in the Biomimetics Millisystems Lab under Professor Ron Fearing, where our work was published in ICRA 2019, and at the Biometereology Lab under Housen Chu and Professor Dennis Baldocchi, delving deeper into machine learning applications for robotics and biometereology.

My professional journey started with software engineering internships at Apple and Google, where I discovered my passion for machine learning. While working on Apple Maps, I analyzed probe data to assess routing quality, and at Google, I contributed to the development of speech endpointing models. Since then, I've been fortunate enough to work as a software engineering manager at Wish and as a machine learning engineer at Roblox, both on personalization teams. In these roles, I built recommender systems to personalize the e-commerce products users purchase on Wish and the games users play on Roblox.

Real estate has always been a significant part of my life, with my family owning a real estate brokerage and investment properties. Growing up, I would visit open houses and sit in our listings, sparking a fascination with the industry. This passion led me to obtain a California real estate salesperson license and create Willamette Research, a consulting company that helps small and medium-sized businesses leverage AI/ML models and data science to grow. One of our main clients is a company that uses virtual reality to sell pre-construction luxury high-rises, and we assist them in understanding their real estate market using data science tools.

When I'm not immersed in the world of machine learning, I love to stay active and explore new horizons. Growing up, my dad encouraged me to try a variety of sports, and I eventually found my calling in soccer, baseball, and golf. I've also traveled to over 40 countries and am currently working towards becoming a student pilot, having logged 25 flight hours so far. Overall, I'm passionate about combining my love for technology, real estate, and personal growth to make a positive impact on the world.
