My name is Maxim. I'm an engineer-entrepreneur and a systems architect: I turn an idea into a device, a device into a system, and a system into a working tool that changes reality. I work where physical engineering, automation, AI and manufacturing meet.
I'm interested not in individual technologies but in the connections between them. I think in projects — from 3D printing, microcontrollers and smart home to agritech, production automation and AI agents — and I see where engineering, data, business and human behavior come together into one system.
My core is assembling the complex out of the scattered: turning chaos into architecture, and a hypothesis into a prototype.
Technology, to me, isn't decoration for the future but a way to give a person back their autonomy. I don't just use the future — I build it around myself.
Eight fields I work in with my hands and my head — from hardware to ideas.
Hermes, multi-agent pipelines, human-in-the-loop, SQL, Obsidian memory.
I automate manual, unproductive work.
CAD modeling, 3D printing, microcontrollers, smart home.
A high-tech, automated and controlled cultivation loop.
From the technology to launching a production line from scratch.
Launching products and ventures, operations, economics.
Inventions and scientific papers.
Studying ontology, epistemology and ethics; writing a book.

This is my research flagship, showing high-tech and a link to space: a rotational hydroponic rig that grows by the principle NASA is developing for zero gravity, and Dyson uses on a strawberry farm in the UK.
An almost fully automated loop: Raspberry Pi as the central brain; Zigbee devices (a link to the smart home); a spectrometer and lux meter — down to the lamp's spectrum; peristaltic dosing pumps; a probe measuring pH, EC, ORP and temperature; a relay block over the whole loop; an agent that analyzes the process and makes suggestions; a control panel with custom widgets and a voice-alert system — when something goes wrong, a synthetic voice insistently reports it.
What I'm saying with this project: "I can put it all together at once, and do it with flair."
A human is a complex, in many ways beautiful system. I decided to take a shot at building predictive models of that system. I turn a dry psychometric test result into clear, useful artifacts: preferences at work and in relationships, compatibility, narratives.
Right now it's a working MVP in Telegram — go try it. Soon it becomes a separate site with a star map of your personality based on psychometrics.

I design, build and operate applied AI solutions and automations for business: from the client interview and architecture to a deployed, self-hosted pipeline and production support.
I run a parallel portfolio of 4–6 client projects across industries — on infrastructure I administer solo.

Once, Prometheus brought people fire, and its light scattered the darkness of the cosmos, in which man was but a frightened beast among the stars. But any fire strong enough to grant freedom may one day become a flame able to burn everything around. And if humanity turns to ash — what exactly will rise from that ash?

I assembled myself through real tasks — from construction sites to agentic systems.
Mechanized the wall-finishing process under a personal guarantee and earned my first income from the improvement. The episode that laid the foundation of my engineering-entrepreneurial pattern.
Operations, supply, logistics, dealing with external bodies.
Won the election as an independent; the win was falsified; over ~1.5 years of courts I proved the fraud and got the seat.
Public and municipal administration.
Microcontrollers, circuitry, CAD design, private orders, dozens of products.
Started my interest in sustainable food via a microgreens startup; designing autonomous agritech systems.
Full cycle — from the financial model and legal setup to the engineering: electrical, cooling, infrastructure.
As project work, launched a polyurethane casting line from scratch and led a team of 5.
Applied AI systems for my own products and business; finalist of the federal grant competition "Sozday Nashe" with an AI project.
