About

Backend & GenAI Engineer with 7 years of experience spanning application security, cybersecurity, and software engineering. Over the past 2 years, I have designed and deployed production-grade LLM and RAG systems for B2B clients.

My security background strengthens my ability to design resilient architectures, review code critically, and build AI systems with production reliability in mind. I specialize in building typed, maintainable Python systems using modern AI orchestration frameworks.

I’m known for being honest, direct and solution-focused.

Education

NETWORK AND SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION/ADMINISTRATOR · Computer Science Classes of Natalya Kazakova2014 – 2017

Hands-on training where we built systems from the ground up and then actively tested and broke them - giving me early exposure to purple teaming practices. This helped me develop a practical understanding of how systems fail, and how to design them more securely and reliably. We reinforced offensive and defensive skills through platforms like OverTheWire, along with 300+ hours of in-class work focused on installing, upgrading, troubleshooting, and stress-testing Debian and Windows environments - building a strong foundation in system behavior, debugging, and real-world failure scenarios.
