Hi, I'm Vlad. An engineer with seven years in production.

I build production systems end to end: backends, pipelines, automation. The last couple of years mostly around AI: RAG, agentic pipelines, and model evals.

About

An engineer with seven years of commercial experience. I build production-grade systems end to end: backends, pipelines, automation, from gathering requirements to deploy and support. Background in fintech and high-load.

I've worked both solo and on teams, from startups to large international ones. These days I write less code and focus more on the product side.

For the last couple of years I've worked closely with AI, not just as a tool but from a product angle: building RAG systems, agentic pipelines, and writing evals for models.

Value-wise I'm drawn to education, quality of life, privacy, civil liberties, and AI safety. I contribute a bit to open source I care about, and want to do more.
