Summary
Igor Pesic is a senior software engineer and researcher with nine years of experience building production-grade systems at the intersection of databases, machine learning and quantitative finance. Currently a core developer on Oracle’s MySQL/HeatWave team, he has driven features like native JavaScript stored programs, a MySQL JavaScript library and WebAssembly support inside stored programs. His background spans end-to-end ML and computer vision work—from distributed deep learning pipelines for medical imaging to time-series forecasting and systematic trading models—using PyTorch, scikit-learn, OpenCV and big-data stacks. Comfortable switching between low-level C++ development and high-level ML research, he blends strong academic training from ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen with practical product delivery. Colleagues value that he repeatedly turns exploratory research into shipped features and tools that scale in production. Based in Zurich, he keeps close to state-of-the-art deep learning research while focusing on pragmatic engineering trade-offs.
