About me · proflead
Hi, I’m Vladislav Guzey.
AI engineer, developer advocate, and PhD researcher.
I build AI tools and help developers understand how to use them. Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I share what I learn through code, writing, videos, and hands-on workshops.

My background
My career spans web development, data, and growth. That experience shapes how I approach AI: start with a real problem, build something useful, and make it easy for people to use.
Today, my PhD research focuses on agentic AI: systems that can plan and carry out tasks. Alongside that research, I build projects and create practical tutorials to help developers bring AI into their everyday work.
Teaching & community
I enjoy getting people together to learn by building. Here are a few examples of that work.
Teaching students at Chiang Mai University
I hosted a Codex workshop with 70+ attendees and 10+ student projects. Students built tools for learning, campus life, and everyday problems.

My talk explored how developers can orchestrate multiple AI agents inside VS Code.

As a technical volunteer at DataKind’s AI Builder Lab with OpenAI Academy, I built a tool to help officers in Timor-Leste turn disaster reports into situation briefs and response plans.

I also host local Codex meetups, including OpenAI Build Week, and was an invited speaker at the 4th International Symposium on Multilateral Innovation for a Future Society.
