# Artem Kuzko

> Agentic-First Software Engineer / Client Solutions. I build AI-assisted solutions for the tedious work clients would rather not do by hand, and I build them by delegating to AI agents while keeping a human hand on every decision.

Based in Ukraine (Europe/Kyiv). Languages: English (fluent), Ukrainian (native), Russian (native). Nearly 20 years of web development.

## Now

- Dearborn Labs, Engineer, via Sphere, May 2026 – present: Dearborn Labs builds AI-assisted solutions that take slow, error-prone work off clients' hands, mostly in insurance. I work on these projects agentic-first: AI agents plan, implement and review, while I own the architecture, the approval gates and the result.
  - Anomaly and error detection in ledger spreadsheets with thousands of rows
  - Vehicle damage recognition from photos
  - Insurance document recognition and verification
  - Solution architect, AI-assisted. On one project I also designed the full architecture and the Jira roadmap, with AI as a co-designer, while the team lead was on vacation.
- How I work: Plan (An agent reads the ticket and the codebase and drafts an implementation plan.) → Approve (I review the plan and approve it, or send it back.) → Build & review (One agent implements; a separate, read-only agent reviews until it signs off.) → Ship (The PR goes up and CI is watched through to green.)
