Summary
Aleksei Karpov is a machine learning engineer with nine years of experience and a 5+ year focus on deep learning for computer vision and speech processing, currently driving R&D at MetaOptima Technology in Vancouver. He has moved research ideas into production—designing self-supervised monocular depth models that combine ViT and CNN architectures (published at ISMAR) and shipping real-time speech enhancement/separation models optimized for smartphones and laptops at Huawei. Comfortable across the stack, he builds data pipelines, crafts DSP-based dataset cleaning and augmentation, and created a multi-threaded Android test app to collect real-world evaluation data. His work blends rigorous mathematical foundations from MIPT with practical deployment skills, enabling prototypes to become integrated product components. Notably, he bridges academic research and product engineering, with experience taking novel depth-estimation methods from publication to applied systems.
