Sessions with Kirill Zhuchkov

• Frontend, Backend, Using AI, Vibecoding (60 min): Bring a real problem—that's when these sessions actually move the needle. I'm a senior engineer with 15+ years across full-stack web (frontend through backend—Go, Rails, Python, TypeScript/React), automotive C++ at HERE, and applied AI in production: voice agents, real-time STT, and LLM agents. Good things to bring: - Building voice agents & apps from scratch—VoIP/WebRTC + AI, from zero to a working MVP - Breaking into AI/LLM engineering—where to start, hype vs. real, agentic features - End-to-end web products—taking an idea through frontend, backend, and shipping it - System design & backend architecture—Go, event-sourced systems, microservices, databases, APIs, scaling - Code or architecture review—bring a repo, PR, or design doc (incl. pre-release / pre-scale checks) Newer to engineering or switching in? Also welcome—we can map a path and the skills that matter. Come with a specific question or goal and we'll get further. Not sure what to ask? Drop a couple of lines on where you're stuck when you book.
