I build AI-native, distributed systems and lead engineering teams from MVP to production.
What I'm looking for
At Math & Magic, I architected and shipped an AI-native collaboration platform across web, desktop, and mobile, taking it from MVP to production for thousands of users. I built its Rust backend, event-driven microservices, and a proprietary WebRTC-based SFU for low-latency voice and video.
I design production AI systems with permission-aware workspace context, memory, retrieval, tool execution, and controlled actions. I also focus on practical LLM efficiency through model routing, context compression, token budgets, evaluation, and cost-quality-latency trade-offs.
Previously, as Head of Artificial Intelligence at BetB2B Platform, I delivered practical AI initiatives across marketing, content management, HR, and analytics. At Exabyte, I led dozens of projects into operation, including St. Petersburg's Transport Portal, GoRussia Travel Portal, and enterprise Agile project-management software.
Across more than 20 years, I've built high-load distributed software, led engineering teams of 30+, and stayed hands-on with architecture, technical strategy, and critical implementation decisions.

As a Technical Lead, I directed a team of developers to create a high-performance microservice architecture. I took charge of key features such as a traffic router, API server, and stats collection server, utilizing agile development practices to drive success. I made strategic technical decisions to optimize the system's performance, ultimately leading to a successful launch and significant resul
I was responsible for breaking down technical tasks, improving system efficiency, communicating with clients, monitoring team performance, and supporting my team members. I introduced agile development practices to increase transparency and predictability, leading to the successful launch of updated versions of inmyroom.ru, a popular publishing platform with millions of monthly active users.
I managed the creation of a powerful tool for social media marketing experts. The software focused on analyzing audiences in social networks and collecting relevant metrics. The result of my team's hard work was the successful sale of the technology to a third-party company and its integration into their products.
At BR Technologies, a software development company with a team of over 150 contractors all over the world, I had the opportunity to work on the user interfaces of the high-availability advertising network, Leadsleader.ru. I was part of a dynamic and talented team dedicated to creating innovative software solutions for our customers.
During this time, I successfully created a vast portfolio of web projects that spanned a range of complexity, from personal homepages to complex e-commerce solutions. My expertise in PHP and Ruby on Rails allowed me to bring each of these projects to life with dynamic and user-friendly interfaces. With a strong focus on delivering high-quality results, I developed nearly a hundred websites and est
