Aleksandr Filippov is a Lead Product Manager, AI Platforms & Agents, based in Limassol, Cyprus. He writes the production code behind the AI platforms he leads: retrieval systems that ground answers in knowledge you can trust, the agent runtimes and orchestration around them, Model Context Protocol servers and gateways that put both in front of any AI client, and the Python services underneath. He is also one of the maintainers of ToolHive, the open-source MCP platform under the company gateway he built. The product side — problem selection, quality criteria, stakeholders, adoption — sits on top of work he can build himself.

Away from work he trains at the gym on a program he runs himself, high intensity and low volume, and spends the rest of his time with his family and electronic music — Armin van Buuren above all, heard live at Beonix in Limassol several years running. He keeps a close eye on where AI is actually moving, tries each shift against whatever he is building at the time, and has a few ideas of his own in progress that are not ready to show yet.

This site gathers his projects, his writing, and the thinking behind them.
