About
My story.
The short version.
I'm Mikhail. Most people call me Mike. I'm a student, and I build AI agent systems that I actually live with every day.
It started the way it probably started for you: the first time an AI chatbot gave me an answer that genuinely surprised me. The difference is I couldn't leave it there. I wanted to know how far this goes, and reading about it wasn't enough. So I started building.
Today an always-on agent runs parts of my week. It plans, delegates to specialist agents, and reports back from its own server, including while I sleep. I built the tools I study with: spaced-repetition flashcards, case simulators, a tracker that starts my mornings. When I want to learn something about AI now, I build something with it.
Along the way I spent a week at a Microsoft office researching a question I keep coming back to: schools pay for AI tools, and students barely touch them. Why that happens, and what would fix it, is the problem I care about most.
I have participated in five hackathons since September 2026, including first place in the Pydantic side challenge. I founded and lead an AI society at my college that meets weekly to build projects. I conduct AI research on open-source models and have one paper under peer review and one draft. I build with Claude Code, an AI tool that writes the code at my direction. You can see this work on my projects and research pages.
On 1 September 2026 I started A-levels in Computer Science, Physics and Maths in Cambridge, UK, on an academic scholarship. Everything I learn along the way lands in short daily breakdowns on Instagram. My newsletter with the tools and prompts that survived my testing is not ready yet.
Away from a keyboard: chess and basketball.

Claude or ChatGPT is the wrong question
The comparison people argue about most, and why the answer depends on the job in front of you, not the leaderboard.

An AI tool for school built the opposite way
Schools mostly worry that AI hands students answers for free. This tool makes you do the thinking.
Writing
AI analysis, without the hype.
I break down real AI developments on Instagram, short and clear: what actually shipped and what it means. Longer write-ups go to LinkedIn.
