Manajev AI Labs

About Me

Dmitri Manajev — Entrepreneur • Product/Tech Lead • Senior RL/Robotics Engineer based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Reinforcement Learning & Robotics engineer with 15+ years shipping production software across mobile, web, blockchain, and AI systems.

Founder of CryptoApps (2018–2024). Now independently advancing embodied AI through Manajev AI Labs: building reproducible RL training/evaluation pipelines (Docker, CI), ROS 2/C++ control loops for policy deployment, and hands-on lab experiments in navigation (Nav2), manipulation (MoveIt 2), and sim-to-real transfer on differential-drive/holonomic bases and 6-DoF manipulators + grippers.

Deep expertise in single/multi-agent RL, offline/online methods, Generative AI, and imitation learning (LeRobot). Passionate about deployable, impactful autonomous agents. Actively pursuing collaborations, consulting, or full-time opportunities in Robotics/AI.
