Summary
Vladimir Belyaev is a Lead Machine Learning Engineer based in Moscow with eight years of experience building recommendation systems and production ML pipelines from raw data to deployed models. He has progressed through roles at Mail.Ru Group into a leadership position at VK, driving improvements in music recommendations, A/B testing frameworks, distributed systems, and analytics dashboards. Vladimir combines hands-on model development (collaborative filtering, outlier analysis, profiling) with pragmatic engineering—designing data pipelines and optimizing daemon performance for real-time services. He is comfortable translating user behavior insights into measurable product growth and has repeatedly owned experiment evaluation and visualization end-to-end. Trained in Applied Mechanics at MSU, he brings a quantitative mindset and attention to performance that often uncovers non-obvious optimization opportunities in production systems.
