Yandex / Beyond ML affiliate work + Independent Portfolio
  • Built current streaming-AI proof points around metadata enrichment, collaborative filtering, CTR optimization, script intelligence, continuity review, and creative asset generation.
  • Designed generative-AI workflows using LLM and image-generation concepts to reduce manual review, accelerate creative packaging, and make internal content operations more scalable.

  • Worked on AI-powered feed, recommendation, and voice-assistant-adjacent product concepts — including personalization logic, real-time ranking signals, CTR improvement, and user-behavior modeling.
  • Translated ML experimentation into practical product gains: better discovery, stronger engagement, more relevant feeds, and clearer feedback loops for product teams.
2014 — 2018
Lead Streaming Engineer & Content Producer
Ivi.ru · Major Streaming Platform
  • Core contributor in scaling a major streaming platform, supporting high-load video architecture, CDN optimization, playback reliability, and content-delivery workflows.

What's inside
Shot-pair analysis across 7 error categories with auto-fix suggestions for VFX queues.
