Andrii Kulyzhskyi

Co-Founder & Lead Engineer

Co-founded an AI-powered EdTech startup, where I lead engineering across the platform, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems. I work closely with our early users and customers, turning their experience directly into the product, and build automations around it.

AI-assisted delivery workflows that cut idea-to-integrated-POC cycles from weeks to days, to infrastructure that scales while running lean. Own the architecture end to end, from first design to production.

Software Engineer & CTF Creator

Designed cybersecurity competitions end-to-end with advanced challenges across web exploitation, reverse engineering, and cryptography, and built the resilient infrastructure they ran on with zero downtime, with hundreds of players competing live.

Consistently top-rated by participants for depth and creativity.

Built payment infrastructure for e-commerce, unifying multiple local payment providers and logistics behind a single reliable API and shipped checkout experiences across major storefront platforms.

Co-Founder & Lead Researcher → Adviser

Co-founded and led a research group bridging AI and quantum computing, collaborating with professors across 4 EU and Ukrainian universities.

Set the research direction, mentored junior researchers into independent contributors, and turned theory into working prototypes.

Built quantum optimization algorithms for financial risk analysis and AI-assisted tooling that compresses manual hardware tuning from 6 days to 30 minutes.
