Olga Petrova is a former theoretical physicist turned machine learning engineer. She now works at Scaleway as a technical product manager, where she is building a smart data annotation platform, the kind of data-centric tooling that modern machine learning teams increasingly depend on to get high-quality training data.

Her path from theoretical physics to ML engineering and product gives her an analytical foundation for evaluating new techniques and separating genuine advances from hype. On the community side, Olga enjoys blogging about the latest advancements in AI, both in and out of working hours, making research progress accessible to a broader technical audience.
