Alexey Kruglov is a deep learning engineer with 11 years of technical experience and 7 years focused on ML research and development across computer vision and speech recognition. He has a strong academic foundation (MSc in Physics) and a background in theoretical physics, which informs rigorous experimental design and original research that produced publications and patents. At Intel and OpenCV.ai he shipped production-grade PyTorch/C++ code, improved tracking quality by ~1.5x, and accelerated a C++ tracker pipeline ~2x, while contributing speech-recognition metric fixes and demos to the widely used Open Model Zoo. He combines hands-on model selection, implementation of research papers, quantization/pruning R&D, and deployment experience, plus mentoring and cross-team coordination. A former competitive programmer with math and physics contest prizes, he adapts quickly to new domains and is ready to grow into new roles.

Contributions summary:Alexey primarily contributed to the accuracy and functionality of speech recognition metrics within the Open Model Zoo repository, focusing on metrics like Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER). Their work involved fixing and improving the implementations of these metrics, renaming and adding functionalities. The user also added a speech recognition demo and integrated adapters for CTC decoding with a language model, and integrated a public model. Further contributions involved fixing pylint warnings and adapting the project for Windows.
