About mecustom-line

Turning Data into Decisions

Data Expert with 15+ years of hands-on experience in designing, developing, and optimizing enterprise-scale analytical systems. Proven record of leading full-cycle DWH projects — from architecture and ETL to visualization and performance tuning. I build systems myself, not just design them on paper — combining deep technical skill with architectural vision to turn complex data into clear business value.

In recent years, I have focused on integrating Artificial Intelligence into analytical and business systems. I design and deploy LLM-powered architectures with multi-agent orchestration, where roles are clearly separated: Architect, Developer, Tester, DevOps, InfoSec, and an SRE agent responsible for incidents and alerts. The AI layer operates on top of the enterprise data warehouse — autonomously answering managers questions, replacing routine analyst tasks, monitoring KPIs, and signaling important deviations in real time.

I take a holistic approach to building analytical systems: I always deliver complete solutions, not just proofs of concept. Every project is unique — designed from the ground up with respect to its business goals, budget, and infrastructure. I’m deeply involved in each step — from code and infrastructure to optimization and visualization. This website itself runs on the data center I personally built, with all its code, deployment, and automation developed entirely by me. I’m passionate about performance tuning, elegant data models, and creating systems that stay fast, stable, and transparent even under heavy load.

What I Do?

Data Warehousing

I document both your current system and the optimal architecture for your needs, including a detailed migration plan. Designs are confirmed through diagrams before any implementation begins.

Data Engineering

I create data warehouses optimized for your requirements. This could be a lightweight database on a single VM or a large-scale, distributed cluster architecture spanning multiple locations.

Data Visualization

I turn your data into actionable insights. Data can come from any source — public datasets, Excel, production databases, APIs, or real-time queues. I create dashboards and visualizations that are intuitive, interactive, and mobile-friendly.

Databases

I design, optimize, and maintain databases for your workload. From relational to NoSQL and columnar systems, I ensure reliability, scalability, and high performance with advanced query optimization.

DevOps

I build and maintain automated infrastructure to keep your data systems running smoothly. From containerization and CI/CD to monitoring and security, I ensure stable deployments and seamless scaling.

Management

I create detailed project plans, find and interview top developers, lead the team, monitor progress, and make adjustments throughout development to ensure successful delivery.

Artificial Intelligence

Design and integrate AI modules for analytical systems — from RAG and multi-agent orchestration to monitoring and cost control.

Other

Broad technical expertise and a strong drive to learn new technologies enable me to quickly adapt to any challenge. Сonstantly exploring new approaches and tools to deliver effective solutions.
