About Me

Building the Future with AI Agents

Hi, I'm Alexander Uspenskiy, PhD — an AI Agentic Engineering leader currently at EPAM Systems, where I architect and deploy AI Agents across the entire software development lifecycle. I specialize in multi-agent systems, RAG, LLM fine-tuning, and enterprise-scale AI adoption.

With 15+ years leading teams of 120+ people and managing $10–100M budgets, I've driven transformative results at Levi Strauss & Co., Dell Technologies, VTB Bank, and Mary Kay Inc. — from award-winning eCommerce platforms to global mobile apps reaching 5.4M+ users.
