AI Deployment
Strategist

Bridging business, product and AI engineering.

I turn business and product problems into AI systems — from model selection and inference strategy to agents, memory, retrieval and deployment.

Business teams often know exactly what needs to improve but not which AI approach makes technical or economic sense. AI engineers understand the underlying models and infrastructure but may not own the product, user, or business context. I connect the two.

When Graph Retrieval Fails to Transfer

A typed relation graph raised synthetic multi-hop recall@10 from 0.325 to 0.800. On a small LongMemEval sample, it fell below BM25. An early research note on benchmark-shaped wins, real dialogue, and what failed next.

FOUNDATIONAL BACKGROUND

The Other Half

Before working deeply with AI systems, I spent nearly a decade in design, product and creative leadership.

That background became the other half of my current work: understanding users, business constraints, communication, information systems and product experience. It is why I don't build tech for tech's sake.

Portrait of Tim Tuev

AI Deployment Strategist
FOCUS AI Systems Architecture & R&D
ORIGIN Product & Creative Leadership
LOCATION Tashkent, UZ (UTC+5)
STATUS Ready for International Roles

The recent AI wave pulled me from creative leadership into models, inference, agents and AI systems R&D.

Today my strongest skill sits between two worlds: understanding what a business needs, understanding what current AI technology can actually do, and designing the system that connects them.

I work heavily with coding agents for implementation and rapid iteration. My ownership is in problem framing, architecture, experiments, evaluation and product decisions, while I continue developing deeper independent engineering fundamentals.
