Andrey Keske
I’m a full-stack AI engineer who loves building things from scratch. My favorite part of the job is taking a rough idea, working closely with users, and slowly shaping it into a product that feels obvious to use. These days that mostly means building LLM applications, RAG systems, agentic workflows, voice AI, and the infrastructure that ties everything together.
Before diving deep into AI, I spent years building web and mobile products for startups, YC-backed companies, and enterprise teams including Airbnb and Material Bank. I was lucky enough to help create products that became App Store App of the Day (twice) and Product Hunt Product of the Day, which probably explains why I still obsess over good UX, clean interfaces, and the small details that make software feel right.

2025—2026
At Dokka, I work as an AI Engineer building an AI workspace where teams can bring together documents from multiple sources, collaborate with AI, compare information across files, extract facts, and gradually turn scattered knowledge into structured drafts—all while keeping humans in control. The platform is designed around end-to-end encrypted sessions with short-lived authentication, ensuring documents remain private and are never used for model training.
I designed and built the core AI platform end-to-end, from document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, and retrieval to citation-aware responses, workspace management, and scalable indexing pipelines. Beyond traditional RAG, I developed an agentic orchestration layer that coordinates multi-step reasoning workflows, allowing AI to retrieve information, compare sources, synthesize findings, and transform them into structured outputs rather than simply answering questions.
Working closely with product requirements and user workflows, I built production-ready integrations, observability, security controls, and asynchronous processing pipelines that made the system reliable, scalable, and ready for real-world use.

2023—2024
As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Material Bank, I worked on a high-performance Next.js platform for next-day delivery of material samples.
I contributed to core user-facing flows using SSG, SSR, and dynamic modules, and helped implement a scalable UI kit with a custom Theme UI fork, Radix UI, and Storybook.
Collaborating closely with designers and backend engineers, I focused on shipping polished, fast, and reliable features.

2023
At [untitled], I worked as a React Native Engineer to shape the mobile experience for artists managing their work-in-progress tracks.
I developed core screens and reusable components, crafted smooth 60FPS animations for fluid interactions.
I also focused on performance — significantly reducing the number of views per screen and optimizing memory usage, CPU load, and battery efficiency.

At Samara, the forward-thinking company behind the Backyard ADU—a design‑driven, end‑to‑end prefab home platform backed by Airbnb co‑founder Joe Gebbia and Thrive Capital — I served as a Full-Stack Engineer focused on building their internal web store.
I developed the core React interface where employees could purchase Samara’s products. I collaborated closely with the art director to bring product value to life through complex, visually rich animations. As part of the front-end team, I helped deliver an online builder that allowed users to customize product models and I worked to optimize the loading of over two thousand 3D product models for performance and scalability.
On the backend, I built serverless handle functions to securely process and store user purchase data, ensuring privacy and efficiency throughout the app experience.

At Fridge No More — a New York–based startup offering 15-minute grocery delivery through a network of micro-warehouses — I led front-end development as a Senior Engineer, building an internal web application that supported warehouse staff throughout the entire fulfillment flow, from packing to dispatch.
Partnering closely with the founders and on-the-ground employees, I designed and implemented a React-based system built for the demands of high-speed, high-volume operations. The app included offline support for low-connectivity environments and integrated directly with hardware APIs to handle barcode scanning and real-time inventory tracking.

At Jupe — a visionary company delivering nature‑ready pod‑shelters built for rapid deployment and sustainable hospitality — I served as a Front-End Engineer creating a responsive web app where customers interact with the product and eventually purchase Jupe units.
I designed and implemented ESLint configurations, UI Kit, and serverless cloud functions to support the app’s dynamic behaviors, while also contributing to CI/CD setups that allow the team to deploy features smoothly.

2018—2021
At W1D1, I co-founded and served as CTO — led the product from concept to launch, designed and built the entire app, created a privacy-first architecture with anonymous user flows, and crafted a creative challenge system inspired by historic artistic techniques. Focused on building a distraction-free space for everyday creativity.
