Viacheslav Ivannikov is a founder and Lead AI Engineer with 7 years of experience building production-grade, client-facing AI systems and startups from concept to scale. He founded two AI startups (vitreon.app and artroom.ai) and has led architecture and deployment of large-scale, jurisdiction-spanning legal document assistants and cloud GPU inference platforms. At Rohlik Group he rebuilt an agent architecture with safety guardrails, tool selection ML, and RAG pipelines to scale usage 4x while doubling throughput, demonstrating a practical focus on speed/quality/cost tradeoffs. He combines hands-on research (UAI author and reviewer) with cloud engineering — owning inference stacks, MCP decoupling, analytics services, and optimizations for low-end devices. Based in Prague and backed by Google/Microsoft certifications, he blends entrepreneurial drive with deep stack ownership and a knack for turning advanced ML research into reliable customer-facing products. A lesser-known detail: he routinely balances heavy engineering leadership with playful cultural flair—his GitHub bio hints at an affinity for whiskey and cigars, reflecting an approachable, founder-minded personality.
