Misha Shpilevsky
AI Engineer | Production AI Products
I build production AI products, from contextual LLM workflows, retrieval, and speech features to the backend systems that make them reliable, measurable, and cost-aware.
I currently work part-time as Head of AI at Timestripe ↗, where I build AI-powered product experiences. I also built PLUS REP, an AI Mandarin tutor, from product definition through production beta. Previously, I worked on high-load crypto payment systems and at Art. Lebedev Studio.
