Biography

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer and Reinforcement Learning Researcher based in Ann Arbor, MI, combining large-scale production engineering with academic work in AI. My work focuses on deep learning, representation learning, and applied reinforcement learning, particularly in traffic systems and infrastructure.

On the engineering side, I have over a decade of experience building and operating high-traffic web platforms, leading teams, and designing modular architectures across WordPress, React, and cloud environments. On the research side, I collaborate with faculty at Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology, with a growing set of peer reviewed publications and conference contributions.

I also serve as a peer reviewer for Elsevier journals and lead the WordPress AI team, focused on integrating modern ML tooling into content and publishing workflows.

Research & Engineering Focus

  • Large language models — post-training, RLHF, sparse and parameter-efficient fine-tuning
  • Reinforcement learning — policy optimization under real-world constraints
  • AI security — prompt inference attacks and defenses for enterprise LLMs
  • Representation learning — attention-based vision and spatio-temporal graph networks
  • ML systems — training pipelines, inference infrastructure, reliability at scale
