Summary
Jaan Toots is a Senior AI Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building production-grade machine learning systems, currently driving AI work at Pactum AI after recent senior roles at Reiterate and Veriff. Trained in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics at Cambridge, he pairs strong theoretical foundations with practical expertise across the ML lifecycle—from data analysis and computer vision model training to designing scalable microservices and optimization solutions. His background spans computer vision, reinforcement learning, tree-based models and complex optimisation, and he has been coding since 2010 with his first CV model in 2016. Known for tackling hard algorithmic problems and mentoring teams, he brings a pragmatic, research-informed approach to moving models from prototype into reliable production. An Estonia-based engineer, he combines academic rigor with startup speed and a track record of improving core identity verification and automation stacks.
