Yauhen Kirylau is a founder and AI researcher with 13 years of hands-on experience building technically demanding end-to-end products, from cloud-backed frontends to model training pipelines. Based in Delft, he combines deep practical skills in PyTorch/TensorFlow, audio/video processing, and deployment automation with a strong background in devops and frontend work gained at organisations like ING, QuTech and Verint. An avid open-source contributor, he has improved tooling and UX across notable projects—contributing to popular utilities and UI-focused repos such as pikaur, vim-codefmt and the awesome window manager. He invents hybrid creative pipelines that blend programmatic, manual and AI-driven content generation (including an automatic audio mastering release) and is actively developing audio-focused generative and remixing models. Despite not holding a university degree, he has repeatedly led complex technical systems and mentored teams while shipping production-ready solutions.
