Anton Akusok is a machine learning researcher and data engineer with 11 years of experience building applied AI and data platforms across academia and industry. Currently a Member of Technical Staff focusing on ML, AI and quantum technologies, he has blended deep academic training (PhD work at Aalto and the University of Iowa) with hands-on delivery at Silo.AI and Zalando. He excels at turning research-grade methods into production-ready solutions and has taught and supervised MSc students while developing applied AI methodologies. Early exposure to industrial software—writing a 3D-to-AutoCAD converter as a schoolboy—reflects his long-standing habit of solving awkward engineering specs by hand. Based in Helsinki, he pairs curiosity about foundational ML with a pragmatic drive to "befriend AI with business."
