Experience
Where I work now — LLM automation, retrieval research, and the product I co-founded.
T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff)
Jul 2026 — Present
Machine Learning Engineer · AI Automation for T-Business
Moscow, Russia.
- Work on AI automation for internal T-Business processes, so teams spend less time on manual work. Right now that is automated document verification with LLM and VLM models.
- Contribute to the labeled evaluation set and the metric framework — precision, recall, confidence thresholds — that determines which model answers are accepted without human review.
AIRI Artificial Intelligence Research Institute

Machine Learning Researcher
Moscow, Russia.
- Co-develop OCC-RAG, a retrieval-augmented generation model. Work covers retriever and generation architecture, training runs, and ablation studies against open-source RAG baselines.
- Design and build a benchmark for agentic research: task suite, automated scoring, and baseline evaluation of frontier LLM agents.
Co-founder · Machine Learning and Sales
Cerritrade OÜ, Estonia.
- Co-founded a company, now a team of 13, building an AI copilot for university admissions. Sold directly to students and to the consultants who advise them, across the US, UK, EU and Asia.
- Built the recommendation engine: a mathematical matching model that scores university fit against real admissions outcomes, with LLM layers that read the rest of the profile and suggest the angles to build an application around.
- Run ML and sales.
