VladyI build intelligent systems that ship to production.
I'm Vlady — a senior software engineer who's been writing code since 2008 and shipping production since 2013. Today I build decentralized AI, DeFi launch infrastructure and full-stack products — from architecture to hardened, monitored deployment, end to end. It all runs on one thing: grit.
What I do — deeply, and end to end.
Four disciplines I've shipped production systems in. The real leverage is combining them: intelligent, verifiable systems most teams can only build half of.
AI / ML
Decentralized AI on Bittensor and applied AI products with real users — subnet miner/validator architecture, RAG, knowledge graphs, agents and automation across healthcare, sales and fashion.
Blockchain & DeFi
Smart contracts, MEV-resistant launchpads, DEXs, staking and ZK privacy across six chains — plus low-latency arbitrage, sniping, copy-trading and prediction-market systems with trustless settlement.
Full-Stack Web
Production React/Next.js apps with SSR, real-time UX and interactive canvas — from BFF architecture and Shopify commerce to pixel-level polish, backed by solid API and data design.
Cybersecurity
Hardened deployments, monitored inference and threat-modeled protocols managing real value — security engineered in from the first commit, never bolted on. I think like an attacker and catch the expensive bugs.
A decade shipping for companies that ship.
From a Microsoft internship to backend at scale, crypto infrastructure at Coinbase, a startup CTO seat, and now decentralized AI at OtterChain.
Lead delivery of decentralized-AI systems on Bittensor: built Vidaio (Subnet 85 — AI video upscaling scored on VMAF/PieAPP), Score Vision (football Game-State Recognition), and the Resilabs real-estate-intelligence subnet. Shipped production AI SaaS — Nexora (24/7 lead automation) and DermaIQ (AI wound-care). As CTO, own engineering standards, delivery and client outcomes across the studio.
Set the technical direction and shipped the studio's flagship DeFi infrastructure: the Ethereum (Flashbots) and Solana (Jito) bundling launchpads, the VolumeX ZK-privacy protocol, the first DEX on Kaspa's UTXO chain, and the Polymarket–Kalshi arbitrage engine. Built and led the engineering team.
Owned high-throughput services on the exchange's settlement and wallet infrastructure — low-latency order and transaction pipelines, idempotent money-movement flows, and the observability and failover work that keeps value-bearing systems online at scale.
Nearly three years on distributed cloud services — designed idempotent, horizontally-scaled APIs and the retry / queue / backpressure patterns behind them, and learned first-hand what production-grade reliability and security actually cost.
Earned the internship on merit and converted it into a full-time offer — shipped real features into production services alongside senior engineers, on code that millions of users depend on.
My first paid engineering work — built custom Shopify apps, Liquid themes and checkout extensions for e-commerce clients, funding my way through university and learning to ship for real, paying customers.
27 projects, delivered end-to-end.
Independent and client work — decentralized AI, DeFi launch infrastructure, trading systems and full-stack apps. Newest first. Filter by discipline, or tap any card for the case study.

Grit is the whole story.
I was born a normal kid with serious problems — grit is what changed everything. A few notes on the philosophy that rewrote my life and how it can rewrite yours.
Have something ambitious to build?
A Bittensor subnet, a DeFi launchpad, an AI product or a full-stack platform — I take it from idea to production. A decade-plus of shipping says I'll get it done.
