@yehor-kharchevka
Principal / Staff ML Engineer building scalable production ML/LLM systems, ML infrastructure, and AI platforms with Python, PyTorch, and LLM APIs.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Systems Architect and ML Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years in software and distributed systems, including 8+ years focused on ML, LLM, and AI systems in production.
I lead ML architecture and R&D end to end, combining technical strategy, hiring, roadmap ownership, and hands-on delivery. I built infrastructure from scratch for a globally distributed product across 8 regions, improving reliability, cost efficiency, and delivery speed.
My recent work includes LLM-based localization across 38 languages, generative AI systems, speech pipelines, and DRL/PPO prototypes. I’m most motivated by turning ambitious research ideas into scalable, production-grade systems with measurable impact.
