Anastasiya Lazareva is a Senior AI Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of experience turning early-stage ML concepts into production-grade systems. She has led agentic AI platforms and RAG pipeline development at Box and now works on advanced AI systems at NVIDIA, blending hands-on model engineering with technical leadership. Her background spans industrial and smart-building IoT analytics—where she cut ML feature lead time by 90%—to distributed time-series and similarity-search algorithms for root-cause analysis. Trained in both computer science and environmental science, she brings a data-driven, systems-level perspective and a history of shipping novel algorithms like a device-localization method for sensor networks. Notably comfortable in zero-to-one settings, she excels at bridging research prototypes and robust customer-facing ML products.
