Hi, I'm Igor Polyakov

AI Product & Engineering Leader

I build AI products, develop engineering teams, and modernize complex systems.

I work where product decisions, architecture, and delivery meet — leading teams through complex change while still enjoying shipping the first working version myself. My background spans Yandex, Rosbank, and T-Bank.

What I focus on

  • AI products — agentic workflows, evals, human-in-the-loop systems, and rapid product iteration
  • Engineering leadership — measurable delivery, team development, and complex-system modernization
  • Maker projects — browser extensions, interactive tools, games, and experiments that connect software with the physical world

Selected work

AI-Assisted Analytical Workflow

Designed a human-in-the-loop workflow with automated quality evaluation. It reduced research-intensive report-draft preparation from days to hours while keeping the final result under expert control.

Context Engineering Practice with an AI Agent

Built a hands-on assessment environment where candidates manage an AI agent’s context and work through eval-driven challenges inspired by Codewars, LeetCode, and HackerRank.

Trade Finance Platform at T-Bank

Led a 20-person cross-functional team through the migration of a platform composed of 60 Java microservices. Two system instances ran in parallel during the transition, with no customer impact.

Voice Input for Chrome

Created a Chrome extension used by 4,000+ people. Its roadmap is shaped by product analytics, user feedback, and continuous experiments.

Chrome Web Store

Gear Designer

Built a browser-based tool for creating parametric gears and exporting them to STL, SVG, and DXF for fabrication or further design work.

Locksmith for Playdate

Designed and developed a tactile lockpicking game where the Playdate crank becomes the lockpick. A small speedrun prototype evolved into Story, Endless, and Speedrun modes.
