Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFedor Kitashov is a London-based Research Engineer at Google DeepMind with nine years of applied ML and computer vision experience across industry and research. He has led motion prediction for self-driving trucks at Ozon and built production-grade generative AI and latency-aware NAS systems at Snap that powered high-impact lenses and doubled low-end Android FPS. His background blends deep learning research (MIPT, Yandex School of Data Analysis) with hands-on systems work from Kubeflow/TPU infra at CERN to real-time perception pipelines for autonomous vehicles. Fedor’s work regularly moves models from prototype to production, including large-scale image restoration and colorization projects and an open-prompt image-to-image diffusion model that outperformed leading baselines. He holds a UK Global Talent visa and combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering—an ability underscored by building sensor-placement strategies and delivering ML roadmaps presented to C-suite stakeholders. Colleagues describe him as a researcher who codes like an engineer and leads like a practitioner, bridging novel algorithms with measurable product impact.
