A hands-on Software Architect and Researcher.

Deep knowledge in high-performance Java/Kotlin, distributed Big Data systems architecture, and their reliability. AI system development & integration of AI with external knowledge & tools. I like to find the most effective and simple solutions to complex problems and deliver results as soon as possible. Over 25 years of experience developing popular, high-load projects from scratch. Acted as a Lead Software Engineer, Team Lead, Founder, or sole full-stack developer on most projects. I know how to design and build complex, scalable, and reliable systems — and I've done so consistently.

A software engineer with a spark in the eyes. I like to build the best things in the world.

For decades, product companies have obsessed over GUIs, click-through rates, and capturing human attention. But a massive paradigm shift is happening right now:

Before: Humans interacted directly with software.
Now: Humans delegate goals to AI Agents, and the Agents interact with the software on our behalf.

The reality check: If your company doesn’t expose clean, accessible interfaces for AI Agents to use, your product will become completely invisible to the end-user. The companies that win the next decade won't just have the most intuitive UI—they will have the most accessible APIs for AI delegation. If an AI can't use your product, you will lose the market.

Will your product survive the AI-first era?
