Instructional Designer & Curriculum Architect — program design, competency models, AI-assisted content production
Instructional designer, 10+ years in educational program design. I build curriculum architecture, competency models and assessment frameworks, and I audit programs before launch: completeness, sequencing, and alignment with what the market actually hires for.
Designed 50+ programs across B2B, B2C and K-12 at Yandex Practicum, Nebius Group (TripleTen) and BEAM Institute of Technology. At Algonova I lead learning experience design for the content team and build the AI tooling it produces with — knowledge graph architecture for adaptive learning, LLM pipelines under schema guardrails, and a lesson-scoring pipeline over a 500MB dataset. Built GrassLMS solo: a production LMS on FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker and Redis with 9 lesson types and 11 interactive exercise formats. Russian and Ukrainian native, English C1, Spanish B2. Remote, UTC+3.
Program reviews and curriculum audits: completeness, sequencing, competency mapping, alignment with hiring requirements. Talks and workshops on instructional design for technical programs, and on running LLMs in content production under schema guardrails.
Consulting and project work with AI/ML schools, edtech products and enterprise L&D teams, and contact with people building adaptive learning systems.
Experience, skills, projects, and achievements.
