# Alex Kondratiuk > Software Engineer @ Econify | AI Engineering, Open Source | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alexkondratiuk I build software that makes complex things simple, with an AI-forward focus that never cuts corners on fundamentals. Recent work spans multi-brand authentication for NBCUniversal and a RAG platform at Hearst (modular connectors, OpenAPI, AWS Bedrock). My bar is high-fidelity engineering: understand the system, choose a design that will age well, making it performant and secure (my background in pentesting helps) and measure what matters. When work crosses teams, I’m good at reducing ambiguity - set a plan people can agree on, instrument it so we can learn, then deliver. Billiards taught me iteration; life in and around Ukraine taught me urgency. I’m motivated by learning in public with smart people, pushing my own ceiling, and building things that are genuinely useful. I also advise volunteer groups building tech for Ukraine. ## Work Experience ### AI Engineer | Client Lead @ NBCUniversal Jan 2026 – Present | New York, United States AI & Emerging Tech Team - building AI apps across the org ### Software Engineer @ NBCUniversal Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 | New York, New York, United States Breaking & Live Team - working on live blogs, live video, and much more (mostly for nbcnews.com)! ### Software Engineer @ NBCUniversal Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | New York, United States Web Team (nbcnews.com and today.com) ### Full Stack Engineer III @ Econify Jan 2025 – Present | New York, United States Clients β€’ NBCUniversal (client lead) - AI & Emerging Tech Team β€’ Hearst - RAG platform: modular connectors, OpenAPI endpoints; AWS Bedrock classifiers Internal Projects β€’ Econiscore - site performance scoring + actionable AI recommendations β€’ Roku LLM - BrightScript co-pilot (finetuned Qwen 2.5) for faster Roku development β€’ Editor, The Loop - internal tech newsletter & best practices ### Full Stack Engineer II @ Econify Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | New York, United States ### Full Stack Engineer I @ Econify Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | New York, United States ### Penetration Tester @ AmeriDigital Research LLC Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | United States - Perform internal and external penetration testing as an analyst and web application tester on a red team - Identify vulnerabilities, provide actionable insights, and review code - Modify custom tools and compile detailed vulnerability reports for clients ### Software Engineer @ Vociferous Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York, United States β€’ Spearheaded the design, strategy and development of a platform focused on optimizing communication strategies through AI-driven prompt engineering and automated social media publishing β€’ Utilized AWS serverless stack and React to build a media campaign management portal, integrating OpenAI's GPT API for targeted post generation and disinformation countermeasures β€’ Implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and machine learning functionalities to enhance the platform's ability to process and generate contextually relevant content, significantly improving communication efficiency and effectiveness ### Software Engineer Intern @ Bancroft Architects + Engineers Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Chicago, Illinois, United States ### Software Engineer Intern @ Diia Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Kyiv City, Ukraine Summer Intern for developer of the first legalized digital identity mobile application in Ukraine. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Business New York University ### Bachelor's degree (Transferred) in Computer Science, Cybersecurity Villanova University ### Summer Program in Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, AI Columbia University ### Student Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/alex-kondratiuk-7b2a0118a - GitHub: https://github.com/ak8000 - Website: https://medium.com/@ak8000 --- Source: https://flows.cv/alexkondratiuk JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/alexkondratiuk/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
