I am a Senior ML Researcher at Yandex, where I have spent the last three years advancing the frontiers of Agentic AI. I played a pioneering role in Yandex’s LLM development, being the first engineer tasked with implementing tool‑calling capabilities in our core large language models. This work laid the foundation for a dedicated Agents team, which grew organically around these early successes.

Throughout this period, I have contributed to the development of competitive LLMs that consistently perform well on industry benchmarks. My current research and presentation focus on the evolution and practical applications of Agentic AI – bridging innovative research with real‑world implementation.
