Summary
Egor Klevak is an Applied Scientist with 11 years of experience building end-to-end ML systems that translate research into production, most recently applying GenAI to Amazon Ads after leading recommendation and pricing models at Zillow and Semantic Scholar work at AI2. He specializes in scalable PySpark pipelines, learning-to-rank and CatBoost models, and pragmatic anomaly-detection and outlier solutions that replaced heuristic rules in high-volume real-estate systems. Comfortable taking ideas from prototype to daily-running production for tens of millions of users, he has a PhD in Computational Physics and a track record of leveraging scientific rigor for robust engineering. Outside of ML, he organizes competitive sailing as Principal Race Officer in Seattle, a role that underscores his operational leadership and attention to complex, real-time logistics.
