Development / Mentorship
I build backends, set up pipelines, and integrate LLM agents.
For six years I've been writing software and teaching others to write it — mostly in Python. Sometimes as part of a large team, sometimes solo end-to-end. More often it's backend (DRF, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy), sometimes bots, scripts, scrapers, and desktop apps. Over the last year I’ve shifted to AI agents: chatbots, RAG, MCP, and agentic pipelines. I enjoy projects that align with my interests and values: education, AI safety, open data, and mental health. Here you can browse examples of my projects and my work experience, as well as read feedback from clients and students. I’m open to opportunities — feel free to reach out via the contacts below (or above).

“Vlad helped me get to grips with FastAPI, Docker, Redis, and Postgres, and he answered my questions over chat. Trying to figure it all out alone felt overwhelming due to the amount of information; Vlad’s support made a huge difference.”
