My name is Maria Tsveshko. I’m a product leader in healthcare IT, based in Florida, and I write about LLMs and agentic systems. Away from work I cycle, draw, take photographs, and show my three French Bulldogs.

I grew up in Moscow, where my name is written Мария Цвешко. I moved to Florida in 2024.

I write here about two things: life in America, and working with language models. On the models, not general reflections — what actually works. What I kept after a few months, and what I threw out.

My work is on LinkedIn: Maria Tsveshko.

The dogs happened by accident: I bought a puppy, the way people do, and got carried away. There are three of them now, and a kennel called Cinq Etoiles D’Or.
