Summary
Evgenii Shchagin is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience building computer vision, LLM and agentic pipelines end-to-end—from model design and training to production deployment. He has practical autonomy-vehicle and robotics expertise, having implemented DINO-WM for robotic navigation, researched foundation models like ViNT and NoMaD, and integrated perception models into ROS pipelines with Python, C++ and TensorRT. Evgenii accelerates experimentation and training at scale (e.g., 4–5x speedups using NVIDIA DALI) and has hands-on experience in data collection, cluster setup and hyperparameter tuning. An active member of the AI community, he contributes to open source, speaks at conferences and balances research with product-focused engineering. He combines rigorous academic training from MIPT with a pragmatic track record in industrial CV and autonomy projects, and maintains side projects that hint at ongoing PhD-level research interests.
