Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaksim Borisov is a Deep Learning Engineer with over a decade of experience and 3+ years focused on speech synthesis and language models, currently building audiobook narration for Yandex.Books. He has moved research into production repeatedly—publishing a zero-shot TTS paper ("DINO VITS") at Interspeech and deploying models via FastAPI for scalable services. At Huawei he led development of an 8B VLM decision-maker and pioneered robust zero-shot TTS and voice conversion pipelines that improved naturalness and intelligibility. Earlier work at VK produced a large open dataset and annotation pipeline for expressive speech, demonstrating how careful data engineering yields state-of-the-art synthesis. Maksim combines strong academic output (master’s in AI, peer-reviewed publications) with hands-on R&D and deployment skills, and has a knack for making models robust to noisy data and reference corruptions. Outside core engineering he brings interdisciplinary rigor from prior research in quantitative art analysis and statistical modeling.
