About
Clear signal,
from noisy data.
Most AI projects die in the gap between a promising demo and a system that survives production. We've spent two decades on the far side of that gap — and we get clients there faster.
Leadership
The practice is led by Ashwin Rajendraprasad, who began in research at USC and has spent more than twenty years since turning AI prototypes into products used worldwide.
He is Chief AI Officer at FaceCake, where he directs the visual AI behind experiences used by over 100 million people, including launches with Disney, CHANEL, Microsoft, Bloomingdale's, Sephora, NARS, and the NFL. He introduced AVA at Google Cloud Next '24: a shopping assistant that pairs the same visual models with a language model, so it can act on what it sees.
CloudSignal AI offers other teams that same experience: computer vision and spatial intelligence, AI assistants grounded in your own documents, and forecasting built on your own numbers. Engagements range from advisory and architecture review to hands-on build.
