Ines Dormoy

ML Engineer at Waymo · San Francisco, CA

I'm a machine learning engineer at Waymo, where I build scalable sensor fusion systems for autonomous driving within the Perception team. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at Stanford's BMIR (Biomedical Informatics Research) lab, working on large language models for unstructured data at the Boussard Lab and statistical survival analysis at the Summer Han Lab. I also contributed to Zara's first semantic search engine during my internship at Inditex.

I hold an MS in Computational & Mathematical Engineering from Stanford and studied at CentraleSupélec in Paris. I also took part in the Stanford Machine Learning Group's AI for Climate Change (AICC) bootcamp, where I worked on TEOChat.

Outside of work, I'm interested in robotics, knowledge transfer, and scaling AI systems in real-world settings. I also mentor high school and college students in the Bay Area and within my alumni networks.

TEOChat is a vision-language assistant designed for temporal Earth observation imagery. Built with a LLaVA-style architecture (temporally shared vision encoder + LLaMA 2 through an MLP projector), it supports instruction-following over image sequences rather than single frames. The project is trained with TEOChatlas, a 554,071-example temporal instruction dataset spanning dozens of EO tasks, and demonstrates strong performance on temporal reasoning and remote-sensing dialogue benchmarks.

HackTheStack

CongressSignal automates the pipeline from public federal documents to actionable business insights. It crawls GovInfo daily (bills, regulations, executive orders), extracts company mentions and sector-level impact with AI, and delivers personalized email digests based on each user's watchlist. The system combines Python crawling, Supabase/Postgres storage, TypeScript edge functions, and Resend-powered outbound notifications.

InterCentrales: GAN-Based Data Augmentation (Winning Project)

Inter-Centrales AI Competition · 1st Place

Winning hackathon project focused on balancing a face-image dataset through GAN-based augmentation. We used a latent-space editing pipeline to generate controlled attribute transformations (for example age, hair, and facial traits), improve class balance, and increase training diversity while preserving identity and visual realism.

The workflow combined custom preprocessing, translation directions, and quality checks to produce submission-ready batches at scale, turning manual augmentation into a reproducible pipeline for the competition.
