Marcus Neo
Founding ML Engineer at Datature
5+ years at an AI startup building production ML end-to-end — from vision-language model fine-tuning, RLHF, RAG, and tool-calling pipelines to classical computer vision, 3D medical imaging, and edge deployment on GCP.
Experience
Founding Machine Learning Engineer (Team Lead)
Datature
Jul 2022 — Present
Model Training Service
Sole author. Framework-agnostic training pipeline supporting JAX, TensorFlow, and PyTorch with multi-GPU support. Onboarded 16+ model architectures across classification, detection, segmentation, pose estimation, anomaly detection, and 3D medical imaging.
3D Medical Imaging Pipeline
End-to-end volumetric training and inference using MONAI (SwinUNETR, SegResNet, nnUNet). NIfTI/DICOM ingestion with RTSTRUCT output for clinical radiotherapy workflows.
VLM Fine-Tuning Pipeline
Built from scratch — LoRA fine-tuning with quantization, tensor parallelism for multi-GPU training, RLHF, and tool-calling alignment. Supports QWEN2.5-VL, NVILA, CosmosReason, Gemma4 with VQA, Chain-of-Thought, video, and agentic fine-tuning.
Model Export & Inference
Cross-framework export to TFLite, ONNX, CoreML, TensorRT, OpenVINO with Float16/Int8 quantization. Triton Inference Server integration with Numba JIT optimisation on GKE.
Annotation & Data Services
Import/export for 10+ annotation formats (COCO, LabelMe, SuperAnnotate, ScaleAI). Video tracking with SAM2, VQA annotation pipelines, and Mosaic/CutMix augmentation preview.
CI/CD & DevOps
GitHub Actions pipelines across all ML services — automated linting, testing, Docker builds, and deployment to GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, GKE). Maintained shared PyPI and npm packages.
Machine Learning Intern
Datature
Apr 2021 — Jan 2022
Training & Tooling
Built custom augmentations for TensorFlow training, dataset statistics aggregation, and hyperparameter recommendations. Developed the full backend for Portal — a neural net visualisation webapp with multi-framework support.
