Senior🎓
Top SchoolDenis Volkhonskiy is an AI-focused software engineer and serial founder with 11 years of experience building production ML systems and startups across London and Europe. He holds a PhD in generative AI with contributions to 3D and video data generation, co-authoring eight papers that have garnered 500+ citations. Denis has led engineering teams to deploy on-device and cloud models for real-time human pose recognition, designed rotation-equivariant algorithms, and built end-to-end LLM fine-tuning and RAG pipelines for customer data. His work blends deep research rigor with product instincts—having pivoted startups to commercialize scientific-writing and fitness AI, and later to LLM services—while also contributing substantial frontend and infrastructure code. Notably, he reduced computational costs for video generation by 64x during his PhD work and has repeatedly shipped systems that accelerate labeling and on-device inference.
