Mikhail Vakulich

AIOps engineer working on an agent platform for carrier backbone network operations. The platform runs on Temporal and LangGraph and includes an incident orchestrator for backbone links and a security model for agents. Another project is PII Firewall, which de-identifies documents before they reach a language model.

Before that, four years in telecom, starting in third-line technical support at Rostelecom and later running an IP/MPLS backbone at ER-Telecom. Incidents and planned maintenance are familiar ground from that time, which helps a great deal when automating them.

Since September 2026, PhD student at SPbPU, researching closed-loop control of neuronal culture activity. Master's in machine learning from the same university, with a thesis on training web agents with reinforcement learning.
