Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Zaytsev is an AI inference engineer with 11 years building production ML and search systems across Perplexity, Trunk, Uber ATG, and Amazon. He blends applied research in NLP and machine translation with hands-on systems work—shaping autonomous vehicle perception and large-scale search/relevance pipelines. As a staff engineer and former tech lead, he’s comfortable moving models from research into robust, low-latency production, and he’s worked across startups and research labs from ISI and USC to Bay Area tech. Based in Austin, he pairs an applied-math-backed CS master’s with a cinematic side project history (owner/DP of a production company), suggesting a knack for clear storytelling around complex technical systems.
