Yury Zhuk is a hands-on AI engineer and founder with nine years of experience building production ML systems and leading cross-functional teams from prototype to regulated product. Based in Vienna, he has led AI efforts as CTO and Head of AI—turning smartphones into medical devices at Shoelessly and delivering asset-level renewable energy forecasts at Balun Energy—while consulting through his own practice yury.tech. His background spans computer vision, time-series forecasting, and ML engineering with real-world impact in industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and energy. Comfortable across the full ML lifecycle, he’s repeatedly shipped scalable, optimized models and data pipelines (including Spark and Azure streaming) and has a knack for turning research-grade approaches into fast, deployable solutions. Notably, he combines startup founding experience and hardware prototyping with rigorous statistical training from UBC, which helps him bridge product, regulatory, and engineering constraints.
