Marco Santarcangelo
About
Robotics and computer vision engineer with a background spanning embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack development. Currently at Scale AI working on CV and robotics systems. On nights and weekends, I'm exploring mechanistic interpretability—investigating how safety concepts are encoded in LLM activations and why readable representations don't always translate to controllable behavior. Previously shipped production systems at Amazon and led engineering teams at startups.
