Summary
Ivan Isaev is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience building and leading ML-driven products across adtech, telecom, and fintech domains, currently splitting his time between HighSky and RentSoft Digital. He combines hands-on expertise in LLMs, computer vision and algorithmic trading data with a proven record of scaling high-load services and organizing multi-disciplinary teams from his previous leadership roles at IPONWEB and MTS Group. Ivan has led teams of 100+, owned roadmap and architecture decisions, and bridged R&D mathematics with production engineering (Scala/Java/Python) to deliver budget-spending and bid-optimization systems. An active Kaggle Competitions Master, he brings a data-competition mindset to real-world engineering problems and sometimes wryly describes himself on GitHub as “Not a wizard,” reflecting a pragmatic, results-first approach. His background in applied math, mechatronics and continued engagement with academic programs informs a strong foundation in both theory and systems design.
