Dad | ML Engineer | Technical Instructor | Consultant | Community Builder
Hi! I’m Alex.
I am an ML engineer by trade and a physicist by degree. I’ve lived in different parts of the world and am currently based in Montreal, 🇨🇦. I speak English, Russian, French and Spanish. I am also a husband and a dad of two 👧🏻👦🏻.
Most of my recent work sits at the intersection of MLOps and generative AI - building distributed training infrastructure for large models and deploying LLM-powered systems in production.
Occasionally, I find time to:
- Contribute to open-source projects, which have been used in multiple academic research studies
- Work with startups on evaluating their ML & MLOps practices and help teams build and deploy LLM-powered applications
- Coordinate data science and machine learning meetups, such as PyData Montreal and Montreal MLOps
- Conduct online educational courses
- Deliver presentations at conferences and author technical blog posts
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, playing chess and training Crossfit and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
