Vladimir Smirnov is a Computer Vision Director with a master's in IT and over nine years in software engineering, including six focused on computer vision and data science. He has led cross-functional teams to productionize high-performance ML systems—most notably delivering a Table Tennis AI Scout that replaced human scouts, achieving ≥98.5% accuracy and €1M/year savings through optimized TensorRT models and efficient CPU/GPU utilization. At Sportradar he built MLOps platforms with CI/CD, model registry and experiment tracking to speed time-to-market, and at Electrolux he shipped re-identification and GAN-based imaging solutions into AWS-backed products. Comfortable across research and engineering, he combines hands-on model optimization with deployment pragmatism (microservices, Docker, CUDA) and a track record of turning prototypes into scalable, revenue-generating systems. Based in Limassol, he is known for deep technical ownership and a persistent drive to squeeze latency and cost out of real-time vision pipelines.
