About

I lead AI and R&D for a CEE Odoo consulting and product team. My small group owns the company’s AI infrastructure, production RAG systems, Claude Code adoption, and the Software Design Document (SDD) methodology used across engineering.

I came to engineering through architecture and BIM management, moved into Odoo development, and grew into a Tech Lead role during a regression crisis that needed someone willing to own the system end-to-end. That pattern — system responsibility leading to new complexity — has shaped how I work ever since.

My current focus is the intersection of AI workflows and ERP development: building the tools, standards, and infrastructure that let Odoo teams ship faster without lowering the bar on quality. I work in Python (FastAPI, LlamaIndex), Odoo CE/EE 17+, PostgreSQL with pgvector, and the full Claude Code stack.

Long-term, I’m building toward a small, high-caliber consulting practice — three to five trusted people, direct clients, specific industry verticals.

Selected Work

  • Odoo accounting suite — multi-module Ukrainian-localised accounting product on the Odoo Marketplace, with production RAG behind the support layer.
  • AI support assistant — first-line support agent on FastAPI, LlamaIndex, Supabase pgvector, and Odoo. Multi-source RAG with vision, explicit context extraction, escalation by client action rather than classifier.
  • Claude Code rollout across an engineering org — 35–55% delivery-speed improvement, 4× faster code review, AI-assisted team scaled from 3 to 12 engineers.
  • SDD methodology — Software Design Document standard adopted across the engineering organization.
  • On-prem infrastructure — two-server Hetzner architecture: six Odoo instances behind Nginx, two PostgreSQL clusters, Jenkins CI, restic-encrypted off-server backups.
