Biography

I am a Senior Software Engineer and reinforcement learning researcher 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 the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and 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 a WordPress AI initiative focused on integrating modern ML tooling into content and publishing workflows.
