Summary
Oleh Kariuk is a Lead ML Engineer based in Melbourne with 11 years of experience building and shipping production AI and software systems, currently leading ML efforts at SEEK Pass. He combines hands-on model development (Vision Transformers, Image Quality Assessment, document recognition) with end-to-end deployment expertise using AWS, Terraform and serverless patterns, and has owned OKR-aligned technical strategy and hiring. Previously he led engineering teams at ShipHawk delivering complex logistics features and integrations, giving him strong systems and API design instincts beyond pure ML. Colleagues describe him as analytical and structured—he digs into root causes before deciding—and he pairs that rigor with practical product thinking to improve operational workflows. Unusually for an ML lead, he also has deep experience running annotation platforms and embedding models directly into front-end, back-end, and admin tooling, speeding adoption by operational teams.
