About me

Business first.
Engineering as leverage.

I'm Viktor Shevliagin, a Principal Full-Stack / AI Solutions Engineer. I turn ambiguous business problems into products and systems that create measurable value. Architecture, code, and AI are tools—not the outcome.

From banking systems to AI-assisted products.

Outside work

Belgrade is home now.
The rest is usually moving.

I came to Belgrade from Moscow via Novi Sad. Away from screens, I run, cycle, box, hike, climb, travel, follow football and Formula 1, and generally look for reasons to spend more time outside.
