Two build slots open for Q4 2026

AI Systems Builder and Auditor

AI systems you own, on infrastructure you control.

Deterministic guardrails, code you own, and three weeks from audit to production.

ai-agents

Autonomous AI agents

Stop losing high-intent deals to response lag.

Voice and messaging agents that answer every inbound lead in under 60 seconds — inside your existing CRM.

Sample run: a web-form lead is called and qualified 47 seconds after capture, inside the 60-second window, then booked for Thursday 10:30.
ecommerce

E-commerce operations

Stop losing sales to support lag and catalog friction.

Order answers from carrier APIs, catalog data from raw supplier feeds, and checkout recovery without coupons — no revenue-share fees.

Sample ticket: a customer asks where order 4821 is; the agent checks the carrier API in 3 seconds, replies that it is out for delivery today, and closes the ticket with no agent time.
education

EdTech & voice engines

Move beyond static video courses.

Speaking and writing scored against official rubrics, with study plans that adapt to each learner's weakest skill.

Sample report: a spoken answer scores band 6.5 overall, with grammar weakest at 5.5, so the next lesson is a 12-minute unit on complex sentences.
consulting

Fractional AI architecture

Stop burning runway on speculative AI experiments.

Feasibility, unit economics and blueprints — deciding task by task between plain code, a small model or a frontier model.

Sample estimate: routing 82% of tasks to deterministic code, 15% to a small self-hosted model and 3% to a frontier model costs $0.57 per thousand runs, 96% less than frontier-only at $14.
Shared engineering standards

Four verticals, one way of building.

  • Deterministic guardrails

    The model handles language. Pricing, policy and permissions are hard-coded and schema-validated.

    • Schema validation
    • Hard-coded policy
    • Permission checks
  • You own everything

    Workflows, prompts, code and credentials transfer on delivery. No seat fees, no revenue share.

    • Code & prompts
    • Credentials
    • No seat fees
  • Working code, not decks

    Deliverables are pull requests, schemas and running pipelines your team can review and merge.

    • Pull requests
    • Schemas
    • Running pipelines
  • Your infrastructure, your rules

    Orchestration and data live where you choose. A frontier model is used only where a task earns it, under your own key.

    • Self-hosted
    • Your API keys
    • Frontier only where earned
Engagement timeline

From first call to a live system in three weeks.

Consulting follows the same rhythm and ends in a validated blueprint instead of a launch.

  1. Step 1
    Days 1–3 Audit & blueprint
  2. Step 2
    Weeks 1–2 Build & orchestrate
  3. Step 3
    Weeks 2–3 Stress-test & guardrails
  4. Step 4
    Week 3+ Launch & telemetry

About

Hi, I'm Alex Shilov.

I build production-grade infrastructure designed to hold up under real-world operational load.

14+ years of backends for enterprise e-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento) and scaled EdTech taught me exactly where high-volume systems break.

How I work today

Today, I bring that engineering rigor to autonomous operations — deploying deterministic workflows, small language models (SLMs) hosted where you choose, and sub-60s pipeline automations that protect your margins. Your data stays on infrastructure you control, and a frontier model is used only where a task earns it, under your own key.

Free 20-minute audit

Start with the teardown.

Alex Shilov

The 20-minute audit is free, with no obligation, and it's with me, not a sales team. I read every request myself and reply within one business day.
