Maksym Liutsko, AI Automation Engineer and Product Builder

01About

I build what a business runs on. Websites, apps, AI agents and the automation between them, backed by twelve years of shipping.

AI automation engineer and product builder. I design and ship AI-integrated products, autonomous agents and end-to-end automation. I'm co-founder & CTO of XecSuite and co-founder of Apex Mind Automation. I architect agentic systems (multi-agent orchestration, LLM assistants, automated content and data pipelines) across OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and self-hosted open-source models, plus media tools like ElevenLabs, HeyGen and Kling AI. It's all backed by 12+ years of front-end engineering (React, TypeScript, Tailwind) and Adobe Certified Expert–level Adobe Commerce experience. Shipped so far: an autonomous financial-news platform and an AI HR assistant, plus 20+ online stores successfully launched.
