AI that keeps working after the demo.

I'm Ros. Twenty years building software teams, the last few as a CTO. Now I work as a part-time AI lead: I decide with you where AI is worth it, get it running, and make sure it keeps working after launch. One person, start to finish.

What I take on

Where I usually come in.

01

A part-time AI lead, without hiring one

A few days a month, every month. I set the AI plan with you, ship or fix one workflow a month with your team, review the AI features you release, and send you a short note with the numbers. Systems rarely break loudly. That is how I lost thirteen weeks on one of my own, so the monthly check is part of the job.

02

A week finding out whether AI helps you at all

I look at how the work actually runs, talk to the people doing it, then write it up. What's worth automating, what it costs to run afterwards, and what I'd start with. Sometimes the answer is that it isn't worth doing, and I'll tell you that.

03

One job taken off someone's desk

An automation that handles the whole job, start to finish. It runs on your systems and it tells you when something goes wrong. Documented well enough that you don't need me to keep it running, and I train the person who will.

04

Letting AI agents work without holding your breath

Most teams have no agreed line between what an agent may do alone and what it may not. I draw that line with you, build the checks around it, and leave your people a review process they'll actually follow.

Background

How I got here.

The last few of my twenty years in engineering were as CTO of MoneyMatrix, EveryMatrix's payments business, with around 60 engineers. The platform went from 20,000 to 150,000 requests a minute while we moved it off a monolith.

I left in the middle of 2025 because I had stopped building anything myself.

Since then I built and launched Risheno on my own, with AI agents writing most of the code. The interesting part turned out not to be the code. It was working out which rules make an agent's work safe to rely on, and that is the part that transfers to other people's businesses.

Something I built

Risheno

Risheno takes the work out of choosing a company. Straight numbers, a proper comparison, and who actually operates in your area. Solar and battery installers first, other categories to come.

Every company is checked against the state registry before it appears, and anything unconfirmed says so. No ads, and position can't be bought.

I built it alone, with AI agents writing most of the code. That only worked because of the rules I put around them. Left alone, an agent makes a mistake and then tells you it went fine.

Who I work with

Two kinds of client, and they arrive with opposite problems.

Companies where nobody has automated anything yet. Often not software businesses at all, and that's usually where the biggest wins are sitting, because nobody has looked.

Also engineering teams already using AI coding tools. More code than ever, and less certainty about it.

A monthly role, or a fixed-price project with dates I keep to. Remote, in English or Ukrainian.

Got a process worth automating, or a system worth building?

Or data that's turned into a mess. Fifteen minutes on a call is usually enough for me to tell you whether I can help.
