ℹ️ My name is Andrey. ML researcher and engineer. Rock star wannabe. Proudly failing at both.
💼 Applied Scientist at Mistral (CV). Ex: DevX and tooling at Meta, web perf and tech lead at startups and consultancies.
Research interests are in the applied interpretability and post-training. Eager to explore why models are the way they are for control and performance gains.
🤓 Blog about life, career, and tech in English and in Russian. Fighting my stage fright at conferences. Founded BeerJS in my home town - Voronezh. Occasional program committee member.
🎵 In 2024 released an EP recorded almost 10 years ago with a friend
❤️ Music, books & existential dreadphilosophy, sports & outdoors 🏋🥊🚴🏃🏂🏔⛺, open-source software & decomposing engineering puzzles.
🎉 Fun facts: lived in a recording studio inside a former bomb shelter (and even owned a tiny part of it), studied at a college of music twice (dropped out twice as well), have three tattoos quoting Dostoevsky in one way or another, always follow the irrational urge to put a piano in every place I call home, hold two MSc degrees in tech (anything to dodge the real work), for a long time, my bench was bigger than my squat (yes, I’m looking at you with shame).
📌 London 🇬🇧 (UK Global Talent alumni). Ex: Voronezh 🇷🇺, Moscow 🇷🇺.
