Elnur Shahbalayev — AI & Computer Vision Engineer

Elnur Shahbalayev — AI & Computer Vision Engineer Available for remote opportunities ElnurShahbalayev Senior AI & Computer Vision Engineer. I build perception systems that run at the edge — drones, robotics, industrial AI. Currently Team Lead at Bayraktar Teknoloji and AI Engineer at Automata Intelligence. Get in touch → View my work 5+ Years in AI/CV 94% Collision reduction 12M Frames/day processed 47.2 mAP on VisDrone About Engineer by craft,researcher by instinct I specialise in real-time computer vision for resource-constrained environments — Jetson-class hardware, drone platforms, industrial edge nodes. My work spans object detection, 3D stereo fusion, anomaly detection, and multi-stream video analytics. Beyond CV, I'm actively expanding into LLM infrastructure and agentic AI — RAG pipelines, VLM fine-tuning, and production deployment patterns. I believe the next frontier is perception models that reason, not just detect. I lead an AI perception team at Bayraktar Teknoloji (UAV systems), consult for Automata Intelligence on international government AI engagements, and teach AI/ML at ASOIU. Completing an MSc via a Warwick/ASOIU dual programme.
