Summary
Stan Miasnikov is a distinguished engineering leader and founder with three decades of experience building production-grade AI, robotics, and embedded systems, currently driving system architecture and AI/ML self-automation at Verizon. He founded PhatWare, commercializing real-time neural-net handwriting recognition in partnerships with Microsoft and Samsung, and later advanced computer vision and navigation algorithms at Amazon’s Lab126 for consumer devices. Stan blends deep model-level expertise in Transformers and generative AI with hands-on systems work in C/C++, Rust, Python and cloud-native distributed design, enabling scalable fleet automation and healing. He also co-founded Quantum1Net and has led cross-functional teams from startup to enterprise, uniquely combining product-facing invention with low-level engineering rigor. A St. Petersburg University alumnus based in Newark, CA, he is as comfortable prototyping robotics vision as architecting large-language-model driven automation pipelines.
