Vlad Mikhailov — Software Engineer

I’m Vlad — a software engineer in Tbilisi, Georgia. These days I build AI systems and think about how they change the way we make software. I help teams build AI-based solutions and fold them into their development workflows.

Before that: fifteen years of production SaaS, mostly in Ruby, sometimes in Python. Outside of work I’m building HeyBird, printing things in 3D, shooting film, watching actual birds, and helping my wife with ceramics.

I’m open to consulting engagements — here’s how we could work together, or just email me.

Now

Building several things at once: HeyBird as the main side project, this site as a place to share what I learn, and a personal knowledge system on Obsidian and Claude that keeps it all from overwhelming me. August 2026
