Classically trained pianist and creative technologist specializing in AI-generated visuals and original piano compositions. Previously an ML engineer in a major tech company, I later led AI development in a startup where I built the entire generative pipeline for creating virtual characters - from image and video generation to LLM-based personality systems. I work hands-on with a wide range of AI tools and models, including Runway, Kling, VEO 3, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, WAN, and custom open-source solutions. My background in coding and machine learning allows me to fine-tune and combine these systems to achieve unique, high-quality visual results. Now I merge technical precision with artistic sensitivity, creating music and visual experiences that feel both emotionally expressive and technologically advanced.

Work Experience

Sole ML Engineer at Glambase
January 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025
Built generative pipelines for character image and video creation, ensuring consistent identity and artistic style. Researched and fine-tuned model architectures and conditioning methods to enhance realism, controllability, and fidelity to user prompts. Developed behavior and dialogue models linking visual and linguistic traits of each character. Led the full ML lifecycle—from prototyping and fine-tuning to evaluation and seamless integration into production workflow.
ML Engineer at Yandex
May 1, 2021 - September 30, 2024
Worked on the core image generation model, improving aesthetic quality and performance in narrow visual domains. Conducted extensive evaluation, fine-tuning, and model prototyping for image and text generation tasks. Designed and tested MVPs and experimental features for educational and creative applications based on generative models. Contributed to the early development of YandexGPT, focusing on text generation and stylistic modeling. Studied and implemented state-of-the-art approaches in CV and NLP to validate new ideas and improve model quality.
Data Science & Software Engineer Intern at Ozon
December 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020
Automated and optimized processes for search quality team, built continuous monitoring of the quality for crowdsourcing project, developed service for visualization, comparing and interpreting search machine learning models (Python, Streamlit, PySpark, AirFlow, Clickhouse, Docker).
Data Science Intern at Yandex
July 1, 2019 - October 31, 2019
Optimized the work of a data-intensive system, reduced the processing overhead by classifying user-generated text content (CatBoost, Vowpal Wabbit, Python, SQL). As a result, there was a saving of 75% and improvements to the quality of big data processing.
