retran/README.md

Hi, I'm Andrew.

I build developer tools for a living and tinker with them for fun.

Principal Developer at Mendix — working on Studio Pro and Maia, the AI assistant inside the low-code platform. Maia handles code generation, intent recognition, and tool integration via MCP.

Before Mendix: seven years at JetBrains shipping features for ReSharper and Rider, then led the ReSharper AI team — one of the first IDE-integrated agentic assistants (LLM completion + RAG). A stint at Uber on the Kotlin Developer Platform: static analysis, an LLM-driven CI/CD pipeline for Java-to-Kotlin migration, GSoC mentorship.

I also teach — IDE development, programming languages, and ML at universities in Russia and Germany.

More at retran.me.
