Maksim Kutakov is an AI Frameworks Engineer with nine years of experience building high-performance, compute‑intensive systems across AI inference and scientific simulation. Based in Munich, he leads CPU plug-in architecture and low-level optimization efforts for OpenVINO at Intel, combining hands‑on C++ and Python development with performance profiling and cross-team technical leadership. His background in aerospace engineering and FEM/rotordynamics gives him uncommon depth in numerical methods, ODE/PDE solvers and physical simulation, which he leverages to optimize deep learning primitives. An active contributor to the widely used openvino project, he has strengthened its testing framework and fixed CPU performance regressions, demonstrating both system-level vision and meticulous engineering.
