About

I've been writing code for 13+ years. But it wasn't until I went deep on LLMs that I found what I was actually building toward.My path: full-stack engineering → backend architecture → ML/AI → LLM fine-tuning and agentic systems. Each step built on the last. I didn't skip the fundamentals — I stacked them.Today I specialize in making AI actually work in production:→ Fine-tuning LLMs with LoRA/QLoRA for domain-specific tasks in finance and HR→ Designing RAG architectures that go beyond naive vector search→ Building agentic workflows that handle real-world complexity→ Shipping end-to-end — from training pipelines on GPUs/TPUs to deploymentI've built Finance AI processing 2M+ daily crypto transactions at Unisyn. HR AI automating engagement for 150+ recruiters at elay.io. ML pricing systems saving $2.3M/year at 3DUniversum. And I co-founded Elyoni to bring AI-powered investment analytics to market.Across 8 companies, the common thread has been the same: take a hard problem, build a real solution, and ship it.Stack: Python · PyTorch · Transformers · LangChain · LangGraph · FastAPI · TypeScript · Go · AWS · GCP · AzureCurrently open to Senior/Lead AI Engineer roles where I can bring deep hands-on LLM expertise to a team solving hard problems. Remote or relocation-friendly.DMs open. Let's build something that matters.
