Nikita Burov is a data scientist and computer vision engineer with a strong blend of academic rigor (currently pursuing a PhD in applied mathematics) and hands-on industry experience across biometrics, visual-language models, medical imaging, industrial safety, and retail. In roles at Forpost, Sberbank and Yandex he has shipped production-focused CV solutions—ranging from liveness detection in biometrics to improving text-rich capabilities of visual language models—while bridging Python research prototypes with C++ production implementations. He combines deep mathematical foundations (statistics, linear algebra, numerical methods) with practical ML/DL tool expertise (TensorFlow, OpenCV, scikit-learn) and a proven ability to generate synthetic data, craft custom augmentations, and tune training pipelines. Despite graduating his bachelor’s less than a year before starting professional work, he already brings eight years of cumulative experience and a demonstrated aptitude for rapid learning, time management and delivering under pressure. Fluent in Russian and advanced in English, Nikita pairs technical depth with clear communication suited for cross-functional teams.
