Owen Elliott

Solutions Architect & ML Engineer specializing in Information Retrieval

I am a solutions architect with experience building AI-powered systems that solve complex real-world problems. I have a diverse background ranging from simulation engines for mining operations to creating real-time multimodal personalization systems that serve millions of users daily.

Currently, my focus is in information retrieval and vector search technologies. At Marqo, I built scalable multimodal search systems that power major eCommerce platforms, combining cutting-edge research in dense retrieval and multimodal representation learning with production-grade engineering. I actively contribute to the field through research on approximate nearest neighbor algorithms and vector search implementation.
