Hi, I’m Marina 👋 — a Machine Learning Engineering Lead at Autodesk, where I lead a team of 8 developers focused on using AI to supercharge productivity. My work combines technical depth with leadership — from building multimodal chatbots and computer vision systems for AutoCAD to driving company-wide adoption of AI tools like Copilot and LLM-based assistants.
Over the years, I’ve helped engineers, product managers, and leaders learn how to leverage AI in their daily workflows, navigate ML careers, and communicate technical impact effectively. I’ve also spoken at international conferences and built thriving internal AI communities, mentoring teams on both strategy and hands-on implementation.
On Topmate, I offer sessions for:
AI & ML Career Growth – building your portfolio, interviews, and transitions
AI Productivity for Developers – Copilot, LLMs, workflow automation
Leadership & Influence – leading without authority, communication, and visibility
Building an AI Brand – sharing your voice online and growing your influence
If you’re looking to level up your impact, I’d love to help you design a strategy that combines technical excellence with purpose.
