I lead the backend of the in-car voice assistant at Yandex - dialogue
systems and high-load services running in production vehicles. Earlier
I shipped backend features across the Alice device family: smart
speakers and TVs. I also build LLM agents that generate and validate
production code, and I conduct technical interviews at Yandex.

As a judge, I care most about whether your solution actually works,
not just looks like it works: architecture choices, what happens under
the hood, and honesty about limitations.

Ask me about backend architecture, AI/LLM integrations, voice
interfaces, and making prototypes production-ready.
