Vitaly Kuzenkov · AI Engineer
AI Engineer,
in evidence.
I ship production AI systems end to end, directing AI to build while I own the architecture, the product decisions and the outcomes. This site is one of them, built the way I build everything. Here is the proof.
I don't have a portfolio. I have evidence.
I'm an AI engineer, not a traditional software engineer, and I'd rather be clear about that up front than have you find out later. I direct AI to implement; I own the architecture, the product decisions and the outcomes. The proof isn't a slide deck. It's a fleet of production apps I designed, shipped and run myself, on infrastructure I operate. This site is one more of them.
I left Russia in 2012 and started at UTS understanding about 20% of the lectures. I graduated with Distinction.
Then a decade shipping large, polished client work in Australian tech delivery, for CBA, Telstra, Mastercard, TAB and Fanatics.
Since 2024 I've gone independent and AI-native: I build my own products, run my own cloud, and ship production AI platforms, directing in plain language while AI does the implementation.
Two go deep
Products I designed, built and operate. These two carry full architecture deep-dives, with the decisions I made and what broke.
Flowstate AI
Production AI platformMulti-agent customer-success intelligence over live client data.
A production, multi-tenant platform I built and shipped for a high-value agency client. It unifies Asana and Klaviyo into one command centre and answers natural-language questions over live operational data, turning a churn surprise into an early signal.
- Multiple AI agents over live data with a provider router that auto-fails-over across OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenRouter.
- Multi-tenant isolation enforced in the database with Supabase row-level security and four roles, not just in app code.
- Pinecone vector RAG grounds answers in the client's own current data; integrations sync one-way and read-only by design.
- Around 10,000 customer interactions a month, in production, for a paying client.
My Cloud Brain
Platform / infrastructureA self-hosted cloud running my whole digital life and every app I ship.
One server I own and operate, holding my photos, files, mail and notes, and hosting every product I build. Infrastructure-as-code, private by default, monitored and backed up like a real platform.
- Around 135 containers across 30-plus apps, every change landing in a private infra-as-code repo, reversible.
- Private by default over a Tailscale mesh with no open ports; public apps via a Cloudflare tunnel, branded private URLs via Caddy with automatic certs.
- Full observability: Grafana, Loki and Prometheus, roughly 60 uptime monitors, Bugsink error tracking, an error-burst alert to my phone.
- Nightly Restic backups that are restore-tested, designed around the media-versus-database coupling that traps most self-hosters.
Products I ship and run
Each one is a real product I scoped, built and operate, for myself or a client. Most run on my own cloud, Tailscale-private, so they show a private chip rather than a public link.
The full fleet, told honestly
A platform CTO will notice if I blur what I wrote with what I run. So I don't. On the left, more I built beyond the products above. On the right, the open-source I deploy, secure, monitor and operate.
Also built by me
Beyond the products above.
Open-source I operate
I run these. I did not write them.
Personal apps I run for myself
No live links and no personal screenshots, but the engineering is real. Here is what they are and how they work.
Therapy Portal
privateA two-role app for me and my therapist: sessions, recordings, journal and homework, plus an AI-therapist companion. Built with a real crisis safety floor and read-only tools; kept entirely private.
Vital
privateA health app I built to train, eat and be coached, and my first native iOS app: a Capacitor shell with a custom HealthKit plugin that imports my full multi-year Apple Health history. A firm-but-kind AI coach, mental-health-aware, with a crisis floor.
Journeys
privateAn app that recovers my whole Instagram history from the data export (there is no API for expired stories) into a browsable, searchable archive I curate into travel journeys on a timeline and map, with agentic chat over the archive.
Taxfolio
privateA tax-prep service I split out of Cyclops because tax is not investing. A private dashboard for me and a public, password-protected page where my accountant reviews and approves each year, with every action notifying me by Telegram and email.
Mindcraft
privateA game I am building in Godot where the world is my life: a Library of my real notes, a People Hall of NPCs from my contacts I can talk to as grounded AI companions, and my server rendered as a garden of health pillars. Private, just for me.
