At Axenix, I built a Rust service on EC2 to prepare large artist uploads for streaming. I also moved heavy processing from Lambda to EC2, reducing the cost per artwork by 40% while preserving jobs during deployments.

I replaced keyword search with semantic search on OpenSearch, increasing search-to-play conversion by 25%. I also built a Gemini chatbot that answers viewer questions in five languages using RAG over the artwork catalog.

At OCRV, IT subsidiary of Russian Railways, I rewrote the telemetry ingestion gateway from Java to Rust with the team, owning its core and Kafka integration. It handled up to 200K messages per second at p99 under 400 ms.

At Web AR Studio, I led a team of frontend developers and architected 2D and 3D editors. I also ported an image recognition algorithm from C to Rust and WebAssembly for mobile browsers.
