Summary
Vitalii Shutov is a Staff Software Engineer and ML specialist with 10 years of experience building production-grade speech and multimedia systems, now driving model- and infrastructure-level work at Arm from Galway. He led ML at VK.com where his team shipped low-latency ASR, state-of-the-art speech enhancement and novel ML audio codecs that outperformed major vendors in WER and echo metrics, and open-sourced several audio projects. Equally comfortable in research and engineering, he writes high-performance C++/CUDA and designs cross-platform SDKs and real-time pipelines that run on mobile, edge and cloud GPUs. His background in applied mathematics and deep experience with GPGPU optimization, SSL audio models and practical deployment pipelines make him a go-to for squeezing latency and bitrate out of large audio models. Notably, he combines mentor-led team building with hands-on low-level optimization, bridging academic experimentation and production constraints.
