Summary
Andrei Dergatchev is a machine learning leader and entrepreneur based in Moscow, currently directing the Machine Learning Laboratory at Sberbank-Technology with deep hands-on experience across ML, NLP, image analysis and BI. He combines academic rigour (years of PhD work in biomedical optics and MS in physics) with product-driven R&D, having co-founded a medical diagnostics startup (Tonocard) that won a national innovation competition and demonstrated in front of the State Duma committee. His career spans senior engineering roles at Microsoft and Skype, leading NLP and social-media analytics teams, and building production-grade resume parsers and large-scale user-demographic models. Practically fluent in Python, C++, Java and statistical tools (R, Matlab, Weka) he focuses on extracting non-obvious patterns from big, heterogeneous data using probabilistic and ML methods. Colleagues describe him as a rare hybrid of mathematician, developer and product builder who moves research prototypes into deployed systems. Despite a broad corporate portfolio, he keeps a founder’s mindset—still running a medtech venture while steering ML strategy at a major bank.
