Valeriy Ponamaryov Email & Phone Number

Hi! I'm Valeriy, my tg: @Arfyg.I've been working in the field of machine learning since 2019. I'm the co-founder of the startup AVM.AI. During this time, I've had the opportunity to work on many projects and write several articles.Currently, I am responsible for the development of ML infrastructure and backend at AVM.AI. Our goal is to make training large neural networks (such as LLMs) accessible to all users. Such tasks require large clusters with GPUs (like the A100). Instead, we combine a large number of user-level cards (such as the 3060) into unified virtual clusters for decentralized computing.I have been working at Yandex since 2021 as an ML Engineer. I improve video search ranking, implement new algorithms and neural networks. I have also worked in the advertising department, where I focused on scoring cold clients, Marketing Mix Modeling (econometrics), creating embeddings for businesses in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and many other interesting projects.My scientific interest is style transfer (redrawing cats in the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night). I have presented at scientific conferences and published several articles.
