About

I’m Andrey Popov, an AI Product Engineer focused on building reliable agentic workflows—linking LLM evaluations, guardrails, and test automation so AI features can be shipped with confidence. I enjoy turning ambiguous problems into safe, measurable systems: defining what should be automated, designing how results are verified, and then directing implementation with AI coding agents under clear constraints.

At EPAM Systems, I work across end-to-end AI solution engineering, from internal production ranking and candidate workflows to an AI coaching platform for leadership development clients. My background also includes finance and analytics, which sharpened my taste for provable logic and validation. I now combine that rigor with TypeScript and Python to deliver cost-controlled, evidence-based systems—often using LLM routing, tenant isolation testing, and “JSON receipt with evidence” approaches so every run is auditable.
