VladislavKondratyev

AI systems engineer — forward deployed

I build and deploy AI software, from model inference and GPU work to backends and the interfaces people use.

SCROLL / OPERATING RECORD
CORE THESIS02 / 08

Software that turns signals into decisions people can defend.

From GPU inference to the interface where someone acts on the output. I build the full path and keep every stage measurable, governed, and reviewable.

  1. P/01Models earn trust through deployment, not demos.
  2. P/02Every claim carries its evidence or its limitation.
  3. P/03Latency is a feature. Measure p99, not the average.
  4. P/04Human review is part of the architecture.
  5. P/05Ship the whole path: model, backend, interface.

SELECTED SYSTEMS05 / 08

Work you can inspect.

All case studies

01 / ALGORITHMS · research

sherlock-sort

adaptive sorting research prototype with reproducible benchmarks.

Role
solo · research
Tools
C++ · Algorithms · CUDA · Benchmarking

sherlock-sort profiles an input for near-sorted runs, repeated values, clustering, and distribution shape, then dispatches to an existing sorting strategy. the repository includes benchmark scripts and charts; results are limited to the tested distributions and hardware.

02 / AUDIO ML · archived

SongDNA

independent experiment in interpretable music embeddings.

Role
solo · research
Tools
Python · Embeddings · Audio ML · Recommendation Systems

an archived research prototype that represented production style, structure, and musical relationships in a 32-dimensional embedding. it is not affiliated with spotify's later product of the same name, and no causal relationship is claimed.

03 / AGENT SECURITY · functional prototype

ClawGuardian

team-built prompt-injection defense prototype for agent workflows.

Role
hackathon winner · hookemhacks '26
Tools
Python · Blockchain · FastAPI · NLP · Smart Contracts

built by a four-person team at hook 'em hacks '26. the prototype screens text and file inputs before they reach an agent and records hashed threat indicators in a shared registry. it won the event's security track and the aws sponsor track.

04 / MULTIMODAL AGENTS · research

EchoMind

research runtime for combining desktop context and persistent memory.

Role
solo · ongoing · mindcore llc
Tools
Python · PyTorch · WebRTC · OpenCV · ZeroMQ · gRPC · INT8/FP16 · Agent Runtime

an experimental agent runtime that combines audio, camera, and desktop events with a persistent memory layer. current work focuses on stream ingestion, latency, consent boundaries, and deciding which events are useful enough to retain.

05 / BIOACOUSTICS · functional prototype

Project Tusk

elephant vocalization noise-removal and research platform.

Role
hackathon winner · hacksmu '26
Tools
TypeScript · Python · Audio DSP · React · FastAPI

winner at hacksmu '26. an audio processing and research platform for elephant vocalizations. applies custom noise-removal pipelines to isolate infrasound elephant calls from field recordings, then provides a web interface for researchers to annotate, analyze, and export cleaned datasets for conservation research.
