Marjan Stoimchev
Computer Vision & Machine Learning Engineer
building production vision systems
I'm an R&D engineer who turns research ideas into scalable, production-ready AI across computer vision, multimodal and vision-language models, and large-scale learning. I focus on two hard problems: getting strong results when labeled data is scarce, and making inference pipelines fast and robust enough to deploy.

Production segmentation and annotation systems for inventory image analysis.
- Built an end-to-end segmentation-assisted annotation pipeline covering model training, inference integration, evaluation scripts, reproducible configs, and technical documentation.
- Distilled a DINOv3-style teacher into a lightweight YOLOv9 student, transferring task-specific representations for fast proposal generation and annotation assistance.
- Stood up a self-hosted CVAT environment and designed the full import → review → correct → export workflow around it.
- Implemented active-learning triage that prioritizes images by confidence, entropy, and disagreement scoring so annotators spend time where it matters.
- Engineered boundary-aware pseudo-mask refinement to cut mask leakage, holes, jagged edges, and under-segmentation, plus a synthetic image-mask generat
