Summary
Ilya Kavalerov is a Senior Software Engineer at Google with 12 years of experience who combines production software engineering with deep learning research, holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland on semantics, physics, and adversarial mechanisms in deep learning. He has bridged research and product work through Google internships in geo and sound perception, a consultancy building GAN-based systems at a stealth startup, and platform and data-science roles at Artsy. Based in San Francisco, he specializes in turning cutting-edge ML research into scalable, production-ready perception systems. His uncommon academic pairing — a BS in Chemistry and a BA in English — gives him both experimental rigor and a talent for clear technical storytelling that helps align teams and stakeholders.
