Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorAlexander Ponamarev is a computer vision research engineer with 10 years of experience building deep learning systems for autonomy, robotics, and healthcare monitoring from Austin, TX. He designs and deploys production-grade models—YOLO-based detectors, backbone+LSTM action classifiers, and self-supervised learning pipelines—while owning ML DevOps, CI/CD, data versioning, and API service architecture. His work at Artisight focuses on patient monitoring where he pairs active learning and targeted dataset curation to surface and fix real-world failure modes. Previously he productionized NLP, OCR, and recommendation solutions at scale for enterprise clients, optimizing Python performance with Cython/C++ and cloud deployments on AWS/Azure. Comfortable bridging research and engineering, he also ported real-time pose models to Apple hardware using CoreML and MPS to hit 20 fps on device. Combining an MBA with focused AI and computer vision nanodegrees, he brings product-minded rigor to hard technical problems.
