Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Klochkov is a machine learning and software engineering leader with 9 years of experience building and scaling production ML systems, currently leading the OCR efforts within Yandex's VLM team. He has driven measurable improvements in on-device text recognition and inference performance—integrating a new neural inference engine that sped up real-time OCR threefold—while maintaining services used by millions. Previously he led R&D teams at BrainGarden, delivering embedded deep-learning solutions (Jetson, LibTorch, TFLite), SLAM and visual odometry projects, and introducing CI/CD practices that accelerated reviews. Anton combines strong C++ and Python engineering with research-grade ML expertise from ITMO (Master’s, 4.89) and a track record of mentoring engineers and shipping product-focused algorithms across mobile and desktop platforms. An under-the-radar strength is his consistent focus on productionization—optimizing pipelines and deployment as much as model accuracy.
