I’m Maksim Kopytov — Max in English. Born in 1987, fifteen years and change in software, most of it backend systems that had to stay up. Based in Dublin.
For the last few years the work has been LLM-shaped: agent harnesses, tool layers, and the evaluation setups that keep them honest. What holds my attention is not the models but the engineering around them — what breaks in production, what the numbers mean, and what a benchmark hides.
This site exists so that peers and prospective employers can read the work rather than a résumé bullet. Every post rests on an artefact: code, a chart, a log, a table of measurements.
