Mark Ma is the founder and lead engineer at UnMark, where he leads the development of AI-powered video watermark removal technology. With over a decade of experience in computer vision, deep learning, and video processing, he has built production systems that process millions of frames per month across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Google Veo content. His technical work focuses on motion-compensated watermark detection, spatial-temporal inpainting, and quality-preserving reconstruction for short-form vertical video. Before UnMark, Mark shipped computer vision infrastructure at scale for content moderation and ad compliance platforms. He writes this blog to document the real engineering, testing, and regulatory reasoning behind UnMark's processing pipeline — every test result, frame analysis, and benchmark published here is reproduced from actual production data, not synthetic examples. His goal is to give creators, brands, and regulators a verifiable technical reference for AI video watermark removal in 2026.
