Jan Brabec is a Principal AI Researcher at Cisco. They is proficient in German and English. Colleagues describe them as "I had the luck to have Jan joined my team at Cisco early in his career. It was my pleasure to witness and support Jan's unusually quick growth towards top class professional in industrial Machine Learning technology. Jan became the de-facto lead of ML backend development for network analytics engine in Cognitive Threat Analytics (CTA) - Jan's contribution proved crucial to build and maintain an unusually strong, solid and mainainable framework of multi-class classifiers that are now behind majority of CTA produced findings. Jan is possibly the most universal talent I had lately have in the team. Universal in terms of ability to start and successfully finish ML projects from scratch, but also in terms of people management, student supervision, as well as project management across international business units. Universal also in terms of being able to productize as well as propose theoretically sound models of professional scientific quality. Jan is also unusually steady and stress resistant. I have always admired Jan's uncompromising performance even under the worst of stress situations. Jan can easily assume the role of Technical Leader in any Machine Learning related project on big and difficult data."
