Summary
Kirill Danilyuk is a product-driven engineering leader with 11 years of experience building production-grade perception systems for autonomous vehicles and robots, currently leading the Computer Vision Group at Avride in Austin. He founded and scaled vision teams at Yandex’s Self-Driving Car project and led critical initiatives such as an in-house sensor obstruction detection and cleaning system that materially improved fleet uptime. A hands-on "player-coach," he blends system-level thinking with deep technical fluency in C++, Python, ML pipelines and 3D perception to ship tightly integrated robotics products. As a certified private pilot, he uniquely bridges robotics and aviation, now developing autonomous drone systems for aerial intelligence and 3D mapping. His background spans product, data and ML roles across startups and large teams, giving him rare breadth from strategy and roadmaps to low-level sensor and pipeline implementations.
