## Projects

- [AgentOps Control Center – Human Approval for Agentic AI](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/agentops-control-center.md): Built a control plane for agentic AI in accounts payable, using backend policy, a human approval gate and a transactional action ledger, so that an approved action runs exactly once and every step is audited.
- [Turbofan Failure Prediction – How an ML Solution Gets Built](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/turbofan-failure-prediction.md): Built a failure-alarm model on NASA's turbofan fleet simulation, using engine-level validation and a selection rule fixed in advance, catching 21 of 25 engines close to failure with 3 false alarms.
- [Stock Coverage – Clinical Trial Supply Management Platform](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/clinical-stock-coverage-simulation.md): Implementation of a data-driven architecture for managing clinical investigational products, transforming heterogeneous IRT exports into an operational simulation tool for preventing stock-outs, reducing waste, and aligning with GxP requirements.
- [Kokodi Pogz – A Scalable Telegram Gaming Platform](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/kokodi-pogz.md): Led a Telegram Mini App game with Next.js/TypeScript, bot webhooks + payments, MongoDB + caching, and cost-optimized production deployment.
- [Text Prediction System – The First Rung Under Every LLM](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/text-prediction-system.md): Built a next-word prediction system from first principles in Scala 3, using n-gram counts, a trie and stupid backoff, to measure where counting stops working and what language models had to change, reaching about 20% top-3 accuracy in English on held-out text.
- [Logarithm Finance – Advanced DeFi Platform](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/logarithm.md): Led frontend delivery for a DeFi vault UI: wallet onboarding, transaction UX, and performance-focused analytics.
- [Gradhire – Student Internship Platform](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/gradhire.md): Academic full-stack internship platform with LDAP + email auth, RBAC, and a PostgreSQL workflow model built for reporting.
- [Pixel Battles – Web3 Pixel Art Game](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/pixel-battles.md): Built a real-time collaborative canvas and battle engine with a WebSocket backend, service separation, and performance-focused rendering.
- [The Merge World – Building a Web3 Strategy Game Platform](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/the-merge-world.md): An MMO economic strategy game that allows players to manage their own empire with advanced features like token purchases and an interactive map.
- [Posers & Wolf Game – Website and Character Customizer Development](https://hirchyts-daniil.me/projects/posers.md): A case study on developing a marketing website and character customization tool for NFT collections.

## Experience

### Forward Deployed Engineer, Forvia (Sept 2025 – Present)

I work directly with Finance teams to understand operational challenges and turn them into end-to-end data and AI products on Palantir Foundry. My work spans problem definition, solution design, development and deployment, combining data engineering, machine learning, generative AI, AI agents and application development. I iterate with users to integrate these solutions into their workflows, automate document processing, improve reporting and planning, and support decision-making.

### Technical & Strategic Mentor – Data & AI Projects, Latitudes (Sept 2026 – Apr 2027)

I mentor a team of five students at HEC Paris and CPES Paris-Saclay on a seven-month Data & AI project about the environmental impact of generative AI. Each week I guide their technical choices, methodology, project strategy and delivery, and I sit on academic review boards at HEC Paris.

### Data & Process Optimization Specialist, Sanofi (Sept 2024 – Aug 2025)

I developed a Python-based predictive solution for clinical supply chain planning, reducing crisis-analysis lead time from two weeks to near-real-time. I built Power BI dashboards and a shared KPI model that reduced manual consolidation by six hours per week, and streamlined data pipelines and ETL workflows with Microsoft Fabric to improve data quality and operational decision-making.

### Full-Stack Engineer, Kokodi Games (Apr 2024 – Mar 2025)

As technical owner, I led product strategy, platform development and delivery from solution design to production. I translated business priorities into decisions on architecture, vendor selection, infrastructure costs and engineering standards, balancing scalability with growth objectives. I built the platform with Next.js and Node.js, designed infrastructure to support 10,000+ concurrent users validated through load testing, and reduced infrastructure costs by 60% versus an equivalent AWS setup.

### Developer, ECOSM (Apr 2024 – Jun 2024)

I developed backend components for subtitling software with automatic transcription features using ASR and NLP algorithms. I implemented multi-language conversion and translation capabilities. I worked with audio-visual archiving workflows and data transmission systems.

### Full-Stack Developer, Posers & The Merge World (Oct 2022 – Jan 2024)

I built interactive web platforms for a blockchain gaming ecosystem. I developed visualization systems for game world mapping, asset management tools with blockchain integration, and character customization applications. I implemented responsive interfaces and canvas-based rendering systems for digital collections.
