United Kingdom
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTatiana Shavrina is a research scientist manager with a decade of experience scaling NLP and multimodal R&D, currently leading research on Meta’s Llama team. She has deep industry leadership from roles at Snap and Sberbank where she built cross-functional AI orgs, shipped large-language-model products, and drove measurable user impact (e.g., dialog fine-tuning that boosted retention and a text-to-image skill that attracted millions of users). Tatiana combines rigorous academic training (PhD in Computational Linguistics) with hands-on engineering—having developed production NLP systems, corpora, and prototype platforms since early career work on corpus curation and spell-check/autocomplete. She excels at translating research into production roadmaps, managing multiple teams and release trains, and creating evaluation leaderboards that catalyze community model improvements. Known for pragmatic experimentation, she also maintains a research-minded developer’s curiosity, evidenced by early open corpus projects and sustained contributions to language-model evaluation and multilingual modeling.
