AI Engineer at Yandex Lavka, currently Tech Lead of the AI application team. Over the last year I've delivered the first LLM-powered voice assistant in Russian retail, built a Go-based conversational agent that replaced a C++ implementation and reached 5% of product DAU in 2 months, and integrated intent-based smart replies into the AI chat assistant. I own agent architecture, evaluation, delivery, and mentoring.

Three years of prior C++ microservices experience on the Yandex Lavka backend, plus prior HFT experience working with an exchange. Recent graduate of the Distributed Systems program at YSDA (Yandex School of Data Analysis).
