Summary
Szymon Michniak is a bilingual Computer Scientist and Physics student at the University of Warsaw with eight years of hands-on software engineering experience across industry and research. He has shipped production and experimental ML systems at NVIDIA and Microsoft, blending deep learning model work (PyTorch, LLM evaluation, DLSS optimisation) with systems-level improvements like memory and concurrency optimisations. At Whatnot he worked on backend resilience and privacy-safe data access, and in academia he researched multi-agent reinforcement learning and human–AI co-play in Unity. Comfortable across Python, C/C++, Elixir and tooling from GraphQL to Redis and Hugging Face, he moves fluidly between model development, performance profiling and infrastructure testing. Notably, he turned model and system profiling into measurable gains—reducing training memory and improving throughput—while also designing concurrency-safe caches for real-time chat. He combines a physics-informed analytical mindset with practical software craftsmanship, making him adept at turning experimental research into production-ready solutions.
