Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Shishenko is an engineering leader with 13 years of experience who builds AI-first teams and production LLM infrastructure across startups and large enterprises, including PGK, VK Pay and Yandex.Taxi. He started in systems programming with C++ and evolved into shipping pragmatic AI/ML products—meeting transcription, RAG bots, and developer AI pipelines—using a mix of Ollama, Anthropic, Claude Code, and pgvector. He has led teams up to 30 people, owned architecture and delivery at scale, and introduced MCP/RAG-based workflows and n8n automations to accelerate engineering velocity. An open-source maintainer (ACT protocol, Librevault, Notifico) with a popular P2P Rust/C++ project, he blends low-level systems rigor with modern ML stack pragmatism. Not driven by hype, he focuses on measurable speedups by embedding agents into daily workflows and operational platforms. Open to Head of AI Engineering or CTO roles, remote or with relocation.
