About me

Engineering leader who ships AI products

Tech Lead · AI Engineer

Minsk → Worldwide

Tech Lead and AI Engineer with an engineering career spanning electronics, industrial automation and software since 2014. Since 2021, I have focused on Python and JavaScript web development. At MVLab, I connected Siemens PLCs, Linux servers and Python backends on factory floors. Today I build backend systems and applied AI products.

I run technical interviews and code reviews, and make architecture decisions grounded in domain-driven design. I value autonomy, measurable outcomes and a seat at the table when product decisions are made.
