Hi, I'm

Semyon Yakushov.

CTO & AI-Native Engineer with a Scientific Edge.

I build products from idea to production — solo or with teams I train. Bioengineering graduate turned CTO of multiple companies. I architect AI-driven platforms, ship full-stack systems, and bring scientific rigor to every engineering decision.

About Me

I'm a bioengineering-trained CTO who operates across the full product lifecycle — from architecture and AI integration to deployment and team leadership. My scientific career at Sechenov University produced 5 peer-reviewed publications in cancer genomics, where I worked with single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and computational drug discovery funded by the Russian Science Foundation.

Today I build AI-native systems: marketplace SaaS platforms, real estate management systems, AI-powered recruitment pipelines, and clinical decision support tools. I use Claude Code as my primary development environment and have trained my core team to operate at the same level — from spec-driven architecture to production deployment.

I make decisions by questioning consensus and trusting rigorous analysis — a principle forged through personal experience that extends from medicine to engineering. Red Diploma (honors) in Bioengineering & Bioinformatics.
