Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuriy Pakhotin is a Senior Data Scientist with over a decade of hands-on experience architecting large-scale ML and big data systems, currently driving safety and autonomy analytics at General Motors in Austin. With a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics and prior work at CERN, he blends rigorous scientific methods with production-grade engineering to turn massive telemetry and event streams into actionable insights for Super Cruise and vehicle safety. He has built real-time data quality pipelines and ML-driven anomaly detection that raised telemetry integrity to 99.9%, and led model development in Spark on Azure Databricks to classify AV events across thousands of fleet vehicles. A seasoned mentor and instructor, Yuriy trains engineers, advises startups and serves on AI risk committees, bringing both thought leadership and operational discipline to ML governance. His background in high-performance distributed computing and FPGA-enabled data acquisition reveals a knack for moving algorithms from research prototypes to resilient, mission-critical systems. Based in Austin, he uniquely marries Nobel-caliber physics experience with pragmatic automotive AI product delivery.
