I grew up in a small scientific town in the middle of the Siberian taiga, where most people worked at research institutes or universities. Curiosity, discussion, and intellectual exploration were part of everyday life. That environment shaped who I am and how I approach life: with curiosity, asking questions, reflecting, and exchanging ideas.
I currently live in Mexico, and before that I lived in Thailand and Georgia. Each move taught me to adapt, learn new languages, and see the world from different perspectives. It made me more flexible and open-minded, and taught me that there is rarely one right way to see or do things.
I work at the intersection of Responsible AI, Human–AI Interaction, and AI evaluation. I’m interested in how people understand, trust, and use AI, how these systems are evaluated and where they fail, and what responsible AI use looks like in practice. My current focus includes AI safety, education, and the evolving relationship between humans and AI, including what we should delegate to AI and what we should keep for ourselves.
I don’t fit neatly into a single job title, and I’ve learned to see that as an advantage. I trained in psychology, which taught me how to observe people, behavior, and context. I worked in research, which taught me how to ask precise questions, test assumptions, and sit with uncertainty. I spent time working in product, which taught me how technology is built, how decisions are made, and how products shape the way people interact, behave, and make sense of the world. And now I work with AI, which has given me another perspective on the relationship between people and technology. Over time, I’ve become comfortable working with complexity and uncertainty, bringing different perspectives together, and finding a way forward when there isn’t an obvious answer.
I’ve rebuilt my life and career multiple times — across countries, industries, and languages. Change doesn’t scare me. It motivates me.
Whatever I do, I try to understand the full picture. I like digging deeper, asking “why,” and pushing myself beyond the obvious answer. If I don’t know something, I learn it quickly and thoroughly.
I’m not afraid to say “I don’t know yet.” Questions help me work faster and make fewer mistakes.
I like growing. Feedback helps me adjust my direction and improve my work.
...I'm busy taking care of my family and kids. However, I try to do it in a fun and engaging way, like exploring our surroundings, spending time on a beach, and hiking in nature. We also enjoy playing board games and watching Netflix together.
I love cooking and am a huge foodie. Food is another language for me, and I love to communicate and express myself through it.
When I'm alone, which is a very rare occurrence, I love reading. I could easily spend hours in a bookshop or a library and feel completely at home there. Music is another constant of my life, especially jazz and classical. Being near the ocean is how I reset, and a sunset beach yoga is my regular way to recharge and slow things down.
