Senior🎓
Top SchoolMariya Davydova is a seasoned software engineer and operator with 15 years of experience building and scaling AI and developer-focused organizations from product to community. Currently COO at Kentauros AI and the AI Infrastructure Alliance, she combines hands-on technical chops with operational rigor to turn strategic vision into repeatable execution. Her background spans product, developer advocacy, and operations at Stability AI, YData, Neu.ro and JetBrains, giving her a rare fluency across engineering, partnerships, and open-source ecosystems. An applied AI practitioner and founder at heart, she still contributes technically—recently improving cuckoo-hashing in a SPAdes genome assembler—highlighting a comfort with deep algorithmic problems. Based in Greece, she blends academic training in computer software engineering with practical experience managing distributed contractor teams, events, and developer communities. Colleagues describe her as a systems thinker who moves complex initiatives forward without losing sight of engineering detail.
