Daniil Chesakov is a GenAI Field Solutions Architect in London with nine years of experience building and deploying ML systems across industry and research settings. He combines deep technical expertise in deep learning, LLMs, Docker and Python with hands-on production work—from leading a FaceSwap project that gained 1K+ GitHub stars and ONNX productionization to scaling BERT/RAG solutions handling millions of requests at McKinsey’s QuantumBlack. He has driven measurable business impact across domains (£10M+ network improvements, fraud detection, clinical lead generation) and has led teams as a senior ML engineer. A Skoltech master’s graduate and UK Global Talent Visa holder, Daniil is equally comfortable translating complex data into product strategy and improving inference pipelines, including audio/video processing and super-resolution.
