Available as a Fractional Head of AI, for long-term work, and selected AI projects
AI leadership / systems / automation
I help companies decide where AI can create real business value, then lead and build the systems that make it work in practice.
What I do
I work where AI, software, automation, and business meet. I can join as a Fractional Head of AI to lead the direction, or work hands-on as an AI Systems Architect to build the systems.
I help companies decide what to automate, which AI projects are worth building, how the systems should connect, and how the team should use them.
Best for: companies that need senior AI leadership but do not need a full-time Head of AI yet.
I build AI systems that help marketing teams create content, manage campaigns, work with product data, and automate repetitive tasks.
Best for: teams that want to produce more marketing work with less manual effort.
I build systems that use AI image, video, voice, and avatars to create content at scale.
Best for: teams that need more content with less manual work.
Selected work
Challenge: the marketing team needed to create more content and manage it across different tools.
What I did: built an AI system connecting product data, brand rules, content generation, Monday.com, Notion, and Google Drive.
Result: the system can create branded images, posters, and infographics. The project also taught me an important lesson: if people do not use an AI system, the technology alone is not enough.
Challenge: a U.S.-based startup needed a better way to produce AI video at scale.
What I did: built workflows connecting image generation, video models, AI voices, avatars, automation, and human review.
Result: the process became repeatable and much easier to scale.
Challenge: I needed a repeatable way to produce and publish short-form video content at scale.
What I did: built a production workflow that creates YouTube Shorts using AI image, video, and voice models.
Result: the channel reached 1,000+ subscribers with $0 spent on ads.
Challenge: finding good leads and writing personal outreach takes a lot of time.
What I did: built an AI agent that finds leads, checks them against an ideal customer profile, writes a personal message, and saves them in a CRM.
Result: research, qualification, and outreach become one automated workflow.
About
I'm Dima Mikheiev, an AI Systems Architect and Fractional Head of AI.
I started as a software developer and later built and ran a software company. Over more than 15 years, I worked with clients, developers, designers, and product teams.
Today I help companies choose the right AI direction, design the architecture, build the systems, and make sure they are useful to the team.
My main interest is simple: how do we turn new AI technology into something that creates real business value?
FAQ
I am especially interested in Fractional Head of AI roles, long-term AI leadership work, and selected implementation projects where I can help a company move from AI ideas to working systems.
An AI Systems Architect focuses mainly on how the system should be designed and built. A Fractional Head of AI looks at the bigger picture: where AI can help the business, what should be built first, how different systems connect, what the team needs, and how AI projects are introduced into real work. I can do both, which means I can define the direction and also stay close to implementation.
No. Upwork is one way to work with me. You can also book a call directly if you want to discuss a role, project, or partnership.
I do not start with a tool. I start with the problem. Then I choose the models, automation, and software that make sense for that problem.
Let's talk
If your company wants to use AI but needs someone to define the direction, connect the pieces, and turn ideas into working systems, I would be happy to talk.
