Dmytro is a Senior Cloud Operations Engineer at Sage Austria and an AWS Community Builder based in Vienna, Austria. He co-leads AWS User Group Vienna alongside AWS Hero Linda Mohamed, helping grow one of Central Europe's most active cloud communities.
Before Sage, Dima built his cloud foundation at APA-IT — the technology arm of the Austrian Press Agency — where he architected cloud infrastructure for Austria's national broadcaster ORF and developed media workflow systems where latency and reliability are not negotiable. That background in broadcast-grade infrastructure shaped how he thinks about every system he touches today.
By day, Dima manages complex enterprise infrastructure — AWS migrations, Cloudflare security at scale, Progress OpenEdge systems, and production environments where a wrong config means a very bad morning for a lot of people. He's the engineer who gets paged at 2 AM when 1.6 million requests hit in a single day, and who turns those incidents into architecture lessons worth sharing.
His talks bridge the gap between deep technical depth and real-world pragmatism: no theoretical slides, no happy-path demos. If he's on stage, there's a production story behind it, numbers to back it up, and something the audience can implement on Monday.
Outside of infrastructure fires, Dima is a photographer who built a serverless AWS pipeline to process over 8,000 community event photos in a single conference season — because if you're going to automate something, it might as well be something you love.
Dima speaks at AWS Community Days across Europe — Vienna, Prague, Budapest — and has presented at events as far as Abu Dhabi. He's been recognized as Rookie of the Year at Sage and brings the same energy to the community that he brings to an incident bridge call: calm, direct, and focused on what actually works.

Obsessed with building systems that ship valuable output.

9+ years across two throughlines: retrieval/AI infrastructure and founder-operator work. Started in 2017 funding a NLP geopolitics research platform, Damocles Analytics, which received a Google News Initiative grant. It did document Q&A over news corpora — Haystack, FAISS, ElasticSearch, Neo4j — years before "RAG" was a household term. That work got me a Financial Times data science consultancy building news classification and ESG-ranking ML APIs.

Since then: senior engineering across fintech (payment settlement engines processing weekly merchant chargebacks) and several 0→1 builds, then founding engineer at Morpheus (mor.org), a decentralized AI inference marketplace on Base L2, where I built the API gateway and the full marketplace frontend from scratch, plus a wallet-first gateway (agentaigateway.com) that lets autonomous agents pay for their own inference, no human in the loop.

Current build: Nuclear News Network, an AI newsroom I run largely through agent pipelines. In two months it hit 11K AI-assistant citation events and page-1 Google and Bing rankings against incumbents with a decade of domain authority. It's less "media project" and more proof that agentic content systems can produce output clean and well-sourced enough to get cited by other AI systems at scale, which is the same property that matters for enterprise RAG.

I also ship in public: 25 published agent skills (1,100+ installs), open-source tooling with 500+ GitHub stars, upstream contributions to OpenCode and other projects, and an MCP server or two whenever a workflow gets annoying enough to fix once and reuse.
Through my independent practice I take on architecture assessments and infrastructure builds — inference deployment, RAG systems, agent orchestration, edge/disconnected AI — for teams who want something running, not a strategy memo.

If you're evaluating agentic AI, local/edge inference, or retrieval architecture and want someone who's shipped end-to-end, that's what I do.
