Hey there! I'm Yurii 👋 — an AI/ML Engineer who believes the best way to learn is by building. After spending years developing production ML systems and teaching at MIPT, I'm now channeling that experience into something bigger: YuriODev.
I recently wrapped up the intensive MLX Applied Machine Learning program, where I dove deep into the cutting edge — Transformers, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, PEFT/LoRA fine-tuning, Vision Transformers, and the art of deploying it all with Docker/Kubernetes. But what excites me most? Taking these complex technologies and making them accessible to everyone.
My journey's been quite the adventure: from modeling chaos theory at 14 and attending CERN's summer program, to building ML systems that detect sleep patterns with 87% accuracy and predict property values across the UK. Along the way, I've published research that transformed how educational institutions approach grading automation.
Now, I'm building YuriODev because I believe AI education needs a revolution. No more dry theory or copy-paste tutorials. Instead: interactive coding environments, real-world projects, and a path from "Hello World" to deploying your own transformer models. It's the platform I wish existed when I started — and I'm making it happen.
Whether you're curious about AI, looking to level up your ML skills, or interested in collaborating on the future of tech education — let's connect and build something awesome together! 🚀
