Team Lead · Builds with AI agents
I'm Albert Akhmadiev — Team Lead at T-Bank. My team of fifteen builds B2B fintech products within an ecosystem used by 500K+ people. I stay close to the engineering through architecture, code review, targeted production work, and AI-assisted automation. On the side: ByteFit.

AI calorie tracker people actually pay for.
Snap a photo of your plate, get the macros. Native iOS app plus a Telegram bot on a self-hosted Python backend. I built it solo as an AI-driven startup, learning the approach while developing reusable practices for implementation, code review, and delivery.

As lead iOS engineer, I built the standalone app for driver refueling from scratch with end-to-end ownership of architecture, codebase, repositories, CI/CD, and payment flow through production and support. I used gRPC and WebSockets for refueling workflows. Today 2,000+ companies use the product.

I built a product-aware AI agent for Fuel that uses MCP to investigate support questions and works with coding agents. I led adoption across the department, helping 10+ teams reuse the tools and setup for engineering changes and features across the stack.

This isn't AI-as-autocomplete: I build systems where the AI does the building — at the bank and at home.
I use Codex, Claude Code, and corporate AI agents daily for implementation, testing, review, and routine automation. I set the direction and validate the results.
Agents work in loops: write, test, review, fix, repeat. They stop only when every check passes.
I configure agent workflows around SDD, build harnesses and graph-based orchestration, and use n8n for implementation, review, backlog triage, releases, and routine tasks.
I helped 10+ teams adopt reusable AI tools. Engineers, technologists, business analysts, and colleagues without prior coding experience use them to implement engineering changes and end-to-end features across the stack. I use these workflows in ByteFit and this website, and share the approach on stage.
Experience
I have held continuous Team Lead and people-management responsibilities since May 2023, initially in an acting capacity. I moved into the full Fuel role around August 2025. Today I directly manage 15 people across iOS, Android, Backend, Frontend, and business analysis. I own hiring, performance reviews, promotions, compensation decisions, career development, and delivery, and have directly mentored 10+ iOS interns and junior engineers. I have helped engineers grow to Middle+ and Senior levels. I remain technically involved through architecture, code review, AI-assisted automation, and targeted production work. I use Kanban for team workflow management. I co-created and developed a Tech Radar process covering dependencies across all stacks in the B2B department, then helped scale it across T-Bank. It marks dependencies as current, update soon, or update urgently.
My primary focus was iOS in 2021–2023; I continued contributing to iOS alongside Team Lead duties from May 2023. I led the migration of 10+ repositories into one modular monorepo; the release cycle decreased from 7 days to 1. I also helped establish release-on-merge, automated testing, and TDD practices. I served as lead iOS developer for Business Cards, Deposits, and Traffic Fines, with experience spanning a modular monorepo and a standalone app.
I progressed from intern to Senior through moves into increasingly complex products after helping earlier teams reach stable delivery. As lead iOS engineer, I built and maintained the standalone Fuel Payment app for driver refueling with end-to-end ownership of Swift architecture, codebase, repositories, CI/CD, partner APIs, UX, payment flow, releases, and support. I used gRPC and WebSockets for refueling workflows; the product serves 2,000+ corporate clients.

Beyond work
Weekends usually mean football with friends — I play it, watch it, and organize it. Between matches: volleyball, tennis, the gym, and runs. At home there's a dog who remains completely unimpressed by AI agents.
