Summary
Lovro Ilijašić is a machine learning engineer and data scientist with 11 years of experience operating at the intersection of software engineering and computer science research. He has delivered ML solutions across industry and research contexts—from production-facing roles at Amazon and Toptal to academic projects with ESA and INRIA—spanning computer vision, NLP, genomics, and predictive modeling. As a frequent Toptal consultant and technical screener, he has interviewed 500+ candidates and consulted for a dozen-plus clients, combining hands-on model building with hiring and technical evaluation. His background includes high-performance and parallelized ML for NUMA architectures and real-time C/C++ vision systems for space navigation, reflecting deep systems-level expertise often hidden behind typical ML CVs. Based in Serbia, he pairs a PhD-level research mindset with practical engineering delivery, frequently bridging proofs-of-concept to production. Colleagues know him for tackling complex, memory- and latency-sensitive problems where both algorithmic rigor and production reliability matter.
