Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikhail Surtsukov is a Computer Vision Team Lead with 11 years of experience building perception systems for autonomous vehicles and delivery robots, currently leading scene recognition and an internal neural inference engine at Avride from Austin, TX. He previously led sensor-fusion multi-task perception work at Yandex Self-Driving Group, taking CV pipelines from research goals to efficient edge deployment. Deep learning-focused, he blends Bayesian DL and generative-model thinking with practical expertise in real-time, safety-critical systems, and has hands-on experience implementing Neural ODEs and VAE hybrids in PyTorch. A co-founder of a DL startup for hydraulic-fracturing analytics and an early robotics competitor, he combines entrepreneurial grit, research chops from MIPT, and a clear drive toward a driverless future.
