Summary
Konstantinos Paliouras is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer with 15 years of engineering experience bridging deep learning research and production-grade systems, currently accelerating transformer-based translation at Lilt AI. He brings a rare combination of applied ML, computer vision, graphics and cybersecurity from roles that span startups, research labs and product teams. He has repeatedly led re-architectures and built scalable inference backends, and previously prototyped and scaled Enorasys Security Analytics while managing teams of engineers. A polyglot developer comfortable in C++, Python, PHP and JavaScript, he has shipped diverse projects from a C++ 3D engine to a penetration-testing RAT and web frameworks. Based in Berlin, he blends strong academic foundations in computer vision with hands-on product delivery, often turning research ideas into operational systems. An engineer who still codes the stack end-to-end, he is as likely to optimize model inference as to dive into low-level systems for security tooling.
