ALMAZ MELNIKOV
ABOUT
Senior MLOps Engineer based in Kazan. I help companies build reliable ML platforms and speed up delivery of ML features. For 5+ years I've improved the day-to-day experience of Data Science teams — from standardized pipelines and tooling to production-grade infrastructure, monitoring and CI/CD. Now I focus on LLMOps and AI-agent creation.
