Vladimir Zinoviev is an AI software engineer with 11 years of experience building and optimizing inference and computer vision systems, currently working at YADRO out of Nizhny Novgorod. He has a strong track record at Intel contributing to OpenVINO’s Inference Engine and to oneDNN performance kernels, including low-level SSE42 optimizations for 1x1 convolutions and LRN improvements. Vladimir combines systems-level performance engineering with practical interoperability work—enhancing OpenCV’s DirectX pipelines and NV12 support to streamline GPU↔CPU image workflows. He is comfortable across the stack, from C++ kernel tuning and memory-copy elimination to migrating samples to new APIs and improving benchmark tooling. An active open-source contributor, he focuses on production-ready speed and maintainability in widely used ML toolkits and demos. Colleagues would note his knack for spotting small inefficiencies that yield measurable inference and throughput gains.
