I’m an ML Engineer with a software engineering background and an MS in EECS. My recent work has been around deep learning, computer vision, medical imaging and data workflows for real-world ML systems. Before moving deeper into ML, I worked as a backend Software Engineer building payment processing systems with Java/Spring, REST APIs, and SQL databases.

I’m looking for Applied ML/ML Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, or SWE roles. I’m especially interested in teams building practical ML systems, scalable inference/data pipelines, backend platforms, or applied AI products.

Sponsorship not needed for US roles.

For one year I reverse-engineered the major education platforms — Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Nearpod, Kahoot, ect. — so that AI agents can drive them on a teacher's behalf and automate classroom workflows. The work runs in over 10,000 classrooms today.

Building agents against production code you don't control is harder than it sounds. The code is mangled, so first you have to understand how the app was built and then take it apart from the outside. It's reverse engineering, but it depends on knowing how to build the thing in the first place.

The role came with monthly compliance and security training centered on FERPA, so I'm fluent in handling student data responsibly. That's not new ground for me. I spent five years building on Drupal, which the most prestigious learning institutions still run today, and version control and access control were the hard part of every project. Student data is the same problem.

I've been building browser agents and browser automation since 2018, well before it was a category. That's paired with 13 years of building dynamic, data-heavy UIs for web and mobile.

I've also built admin dashboards for a custom legal document management system. And a CRM for email marketing, with a drag-and-drop interface for designing and branding email templates for social campaigns. I've taken several companies from 0 to 1, as a consultant and as a full-time employee, across fintech, streaming, real estate, education, marketing, and media. I've worked at a 130-person AI company and on a 7-person team where I wore every hat. I do my best work on small, fast-moving teams.

For the past five years, I co-founded and ran an indie game studio. As gamedev CTO, I led a small team of devs, designers, and artists to ship three publisher-funded commercial games, including a simultaneous PC and multi-console (PS, Xbox, Switch) release. Most recently, I've explored integrating LLMs into my workflow, allowing me to single-handedly build two complex 50,000+ LOC client-server multiplayer prototypes in just six months.

I am very extroverted person with experience of managing a company P&L, crafting pitch decks, or driving bizdev. I know how to hire, lead, and execute fast.

I am looking for both full-time roles or contract work, in or out of gamedev. I treat my work as my life, and will dedicate 200% of my energy to it. So if you looking for contractor, co-founder or just advice on indie gamedev feel free to reach me!

Technology and security leader, first engineer to CTO and CISO over 8+ years at a healthcare ePRO startup. Built the platform from the first line of code to a secure, audited system serving ~100K users at 99.9% uptime. Led ISO 27001:2022 certification from scratch in 6 months with zero major nonconformities. Clean record: zero security incidents, 100% audit pass rate across HIPAA, GDPR, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Hired and led a 10-person eng team. Cut infra cost ~66% via an AWS to OCI migration.

Good fit if you need someone to stand up a security and compliance program, get audit-ready to unlock regulated or enterprise deals, or provide senior engineering leadership without a full-time hire.

Technologies: AWS, Oracle Cloud, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, backend APIs, iOS/Android, healthcare interoperability (HL7/FHIR/DICOM)

Availability: ~10 hrs/week per person, flexible schedule.

We're a two-person team based in Ukraine:

1) Volodymyr — Data Annotator / Technical Localization / AI Data Specialist Native Ukrainian speaker. I review AI outputs, fix literal translation artifacts, and remove "surzhyk" so text sounds natural and technically accurate for Ukrainian users. Also experienced in IT support (hardware, OS, drivers, printers). English: B2 reading / A2-B1 writing.

2) Ruslan — Math/Physics Reasoning & Data (Posting on his behalf — he doesn't use HN.) Physicist (5-year specialist degree in Physics, 1996) with extensive hands-on experience solving problems step by step and catching subtle mistakes in math reasoning — useful for checking LLM math/physics answers, building training data, or testing whether AI models really understand the steps, not just the final answer.

We can work together or independently on related projects — I (Volodymyr) handle English communication and onboarding; Ruslan focuses purely on the math/reasoning work itself.
