@mikhailzemskov
Machine Learning Engineer at an autonomous driving technology company who improved a deployed 3D detector’s mAP by 2%.
What I'm looking for
At an autonomous driving technology company, I automate terabyte-scale training-data workflows for 3D object detection, from ingestion and quality checks to model integration. I improved a real-time detector’s mAP by 2% relative to baseline, and the model was deployed on the target platform.
At Nibelung.AI, I developed and deployed semantic-search models for e-commerce, including embedding models that improved NDCG by an average of 45% relative to baseline across three clients. I also developed a multi-client model for ranking search results.
In data engineering roles at VTB, Beeline, Sberbank / SberDevices, and Magnit, I developed or maintained ETL, streaming, and batch pipelines, data marts, and data quality checks. My work included processing terabyte-scale datasets and contributing to enterprise data infrastructure.
Through freelance computer vision projects, I built license plate recognition for challenging imaging conditions, OCR for Japanese documents, the Strelok-CV automated judging system, and video emotion recognition. I also contributed to an EEG-based system for early detection of depressive disorders at Brainify.AI.
