Filmmaker who builds AI tools. I take an idea from a director's problem to a working product: boards, shots, a finished cut, and the software behind them.

I created iai-memory, an open-source memory engine that gives AI agents long-term memory. I founded One Two Film Academy, an online school for directing in the age of neural networks, and built CutPilot, its node-based AI video editor. Before that I founded DogTown Film Studios, a 9-set production facility in Downtown LA, and sold it in 2026.

Trained as an actor at the Russian University of Theatre Arts (GITIS) and New York Film Academy (MFA), and completed the Machine Learning Specialization from Stanford University and DeepLearning.AI. Part of my work is under NDA.

I built this website and everything on it myself.
