Head of AI Engineering at Flinn.ai building trustworthy agents optimized for results.
Mardu Swanepoel heads up AI engineering at Flinn.ai, building intelligence solutions for global medical device manufacturers. Previously, they worked with Apple Music’s data engineering team and built supply chain risk monitors processing millions of global data points at Prewave.
Mardu focuses on making AI systems actually useful rather than just fast. They prioritize building trustworthy AI—a focus shaped by developing autonomous regulatory monitors and clinical writing co-pilots. To get agents to succeed in production, they believe developers must optimize for system understanding over sheer execution speed.
