About Me

I'm a data scientist, software engineer, and entrepreneur with a Ph.D. in polymer chemistry from the City University of New York. My work spans machine learning, data analytics, systems engineering, and investment strategy.

I founded Relm.ai, an AI-powered real estate intelligence platform, and co-founded Gravis Group, an AI-powered affiliate media buying agency. I also run Alpha Inertia Capital, a quantitative trading firm.

My technical expertise includes building AI agents, multimodal search engines, scalable data pipelines, and production ML systems. I've worked with Go, Python, TypeScript, React Native, Swift, and AWS infrastructure at scale.

During my Ph.D., I developed novel self-cleaning coatings for solar panels and won multiple IEEE Best Student Paper Awards for my research on hydrophobic glass surfaces.

Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
