Founder @ Shannon Cyber AI

"Oleh is one of the most skilled Software Engineers I've had the privilege of working with. During his time at Shannon AI, he was able to strategically develop and scale Agentic AI systems that improved data availability within our SaaS Products by designing AutoRAG AI Workers and MCP Services which fetch and efficiently index content while also hardening our security baseline by incorporating AI Gateways. The design he implemented significantly reduced the delivery of our product MVP's, giving us a competitive edge against our competitors."
