Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrey Stepnov is a Senior Data Science Engineer with nine years of experience building production-grade ML systems, currently driving search and recommendation efforts at Avito and leading an AI lab at Far Eastern Federal University. He blends academic rigor—holding a PhD in Geophysics and multiple peer-reviewed publications—with hands-on engineering, having shipped transformer retrieval models, CPU-optimized recommenders, and Kubernetes-native MLOps pipelines. His domain breadth spans recommender systems, real-time ML services, and geospatial/seismic AI, including a deployed unsupervised container-positioning system that cut overhead movements by 17%. A pragmatic technical leader and co-founder of a seismic monitoring platform, he repeatedly bridges research and operations to turn novel models into resilient, low-latency services.
