ML Engineer @ Buildcheck — M.Sc. CS @ McGill
Eduard
Anton
I'm a machine learning engineer at Buildcheck, a startup based in Palo Alto, CA, building agentic AI for construction. My work spans agentic AI systems, AI alignment, reinforcement learning, robotics, and computer vision, alongside research at McGill University. I'm an engineer and founder at heart: I previously founded Streamwise, and I'm motivated by turning research ideas into real products.
Outside of work: travelling, bouldering, filmmaking, skiing, cooking, and video games.
