Career stack

Three facets, one biography

End-to-end delivery

From idea to production — on any tech stack. Solo, or assembling a team from scratch.

  • Analysis, architecture, development, testing — in one head
  • Real-time engines (Flink + Tarantool + Kafka) — proof from T1
  • Rework the stack around the need, or build the landscape from zero
  • Fluent in P&L: architecture reasoned through unit economics

Engineering leadership

Multi-team delivery — several dozen engineers and analysts, negotiating with C-level and the board.

  • Portfolio Management Director at T1 Group since December 2024
  • IT partner to several tracks — in parallel with T1
  • Strategy defended before C-level (CEO-1 of the T1 holding)
  • Hiring and onboarding — my own framework

AI-augmented automation

AI agents, LLM loops and vibe-coding in production. Not theory — several of my projects already run on this approach.

  • Multi-agent loops + RAG + analytics automation in prod
  • Vibe-coding as a production practice — Digital Artel, Dev Planning, LAF
  • Lovtsov Autonomy Framework — running a portfolio with one person + AI
  • AI-augmented development across T1 teams and partner tracks
