Marsel Safin with an original AI companion illustration. Built with GitHub Copilot. AI-first development: systems, agents, graphs, and curiosity.

Marsel Safin — AI-first developer

PhD in breaking things apart until I understand how they work.

Curiosity brought me into technology. AI became how I build.

I keep pulling systems apart until I understand enough to build with them.

Explore the origin story →

01 / ORIGIN — The path.

LATE 2023 / CURIOSITY

I wanted to understand how machines are built.

When ChatGPT 3.5 arrived, technology became something I could question, provoke, and take apart.

I learned by experimenting, pushing limits, breaking assumptions, and tracing what happened next.

That loop turned curiosity into a direction.


2024 / EDUCATION

Frontend became my entry into software.

I started a 400 YH-point Front End Developer program and gained a structured view of JavaScript, APIs, testing, UX, accessibility, agile work, and delivery.


2025 / AI-FIRST DEVELOPMENT

Using AI became AI-first development.

I moved from prompting tools to building systems through them.

My work expanded into agent orchestration, custom harnesses, AI memory, token optimization, and specialized AI-native SaaS products.

I also began running open-weight models in Google Colab with access to approximately 40 GB of VRAM and contributing to open-source projects.


NOW / GRAPHS / CONTEXT / ML

I am following the systems underneath the tools.

My current focus is graph engineering, context engineering, and machine-learning foundations.

02 / STACK — Tools I work with. React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Python, FastAPI, C# and .NET, Node.js, Docker, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Linux, Playwright, PostgreSQL, Git and Figma. 03 / PROOF — Proof of work.

How I build

FRAME / BUILD / REFINE

AI is not an add-on to my workflow. It is the environment I build through.
