About Jean-Paul Ainam

Jean-Paul Ainam is a machine learning engineer at Meta in Menlo Park, California, working on ranking and recommendation systems for Facebook Feed, and the founder of Logesta Labs, an independent studio building AI products.

Who

Jean-Paul Ainam (JP Ainam) is a machine learning engineer at Meta, based in Menlo Park, California. His day job is ranking and recommendations for Facebook Feed: the models and systems that decide what people see and in what order. Outside of work he builds and ships AI products under his own studio, Logesta Labs.

He holds a Ph.D., Computer Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (2021) and has published more than twenty peer-reviewed papers on person re-identification, video understanding, and multimodal skill assessment.

Experience

  • Meta: Software Engineer, Machine Learning, 2025 — Now
  • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Research Scientist, 2023 — 2025
  • Amazon: Software Engineer, 2022 — 2023
  • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Postdoctoral Research Associate, 2020 — 2021
  • Zhejiang Lab: Research Associate, 2020 — 2021
  • CFAO Equipment: Senior Software Engineer, 2017 — 2019

Across these roles the common thread is applied machine learning at scale: recommendation and ranking, computer vision and video models, and the engineering needed to run them in production.

Research

His research covers person re-identification (matching people across cameras), unsupervised domain adaptation, video-based assessment of surgical and emergency-medicine skills, and multimodal deep learning. The full publication list is on Google Scholar; a short selection is on the home page.
