About

My name is Eugene Zhulikov. I build ML services and end-to-end document recognition pipelines: LLMs, YOLO, OCR, field extraction, NLP, benchmarking and model comparison. I focus on production-grade delivery: containerization, CI/CD, protocols, observability, and deployments on-prem and in cloud environments.

Recent experience (focus)

  • Designed and developed end-to-end document recognition pipelines (LLM + YOLO + OCR).
  • Fine-tuned Llama and trained YOLO; ran experiments to improve extraction quality.
  • Benchmarked models and performed comparative analysis to pick optimal solutions.
  • Built scalable services (Docker, FastAPI, Protobuf, CI/CD).
  • Deployed and maintained models in production (on-prem & cloud).

Earlier

  • Gaming/odds computation, analytics services, ETL tooling, and process automation.
  • P2P crypto exchange automation: bots/integrations improving turnover and UX.
  • Freelance projects: Telegram/Discord tools, automation, small product work.

Skills

  • Languages: Python
  • Frameworks: FastAPI, Django, Flask
  • Databases: PostgreSQL
  • Messaging: RabbitMQ, Kafka
  • DevOps: Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Google Cloud, AWS
