Ildar worked on the archestra-ai/archestra repository, delivering a robust multi-provider AI chat and agent orchestration platform. Over nine months, he engineered features such as per-agent model selection, secure secrets management with HashiCorp Vault, and agent-to-agent protocol support, while modernizing the UI with React and TypeScript. His approach emphasized reliability, security, and developer experience, integrating technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, and Fastify to streamline deployment and scalability. By refactoring core workflows, enhancing error handling, and automating CI/CD, Ildar improved onboarding, observability, and operational resilience, demonstrating depth in backend development, API design, and full stack integration across cloud and local environments.

December 2025: Delivered key features and reliability improvements for archestra, enabling richer AI interactions, stronger security, and smoother deployments. Highlights include multi-provider chat support (OpenAI and Gemini) with auto-detection and smart default model selection, and the Gemini 2.5 Pro upgrade; a TOON content unwrap utility for reliable extraction of raw JSON during TOON conversion; and the implementation of an automatic security policy subagent to govern tool usage. Also introduced Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol routes with JSON-RPC, token authentication, and UI, and completed security/ops work (dependency upgrades, Docker-scanning CI/CD, and orphan-process termination) alongside deployment documentation updates. These changes reduce risk, improve time-to-value for integrations, and demonstrate proficiency in modern AI tooling, OpenAI/Gemini ecosystems, secure-by-default policy automation, and DevOps discipline.

August 2025 - Archestra: Delivered a production-ready, multi-LLM chat platform with improved deployment, UI, and developer tooling. This month established a Vercel deployment pipeline with vercel.ai integration, shipped core chat UI with CRUD, streaming, and persistence, and added direct Ollama API calls along with initial ChatGPT and Claude backends to enable multiple AI providers. UI modernization (Tailwind/shadcn), Electron desktop app support, and consolidated configuration improved maintainability and developer velocity. Significant bug fixes and back-end stabilizations (chatstore, initialization, streaming, proxy routing, imports) reduced user-facing outages and set the foundation for scalable, multi-provider conversations.
