Artem Skulimovskiy — software engineer in London. Backend infrastructure, distributed systems, and applied AI.

Explore my portfolio — projects, demos and writing samples

I'm a backend and infrastructure engineer at SimCorp, based in London. I design and operate distributed calculation infrastructure, from worker coordination and batch scheduling to the data layer and failure investigation.

Previously: Eigen Technologies · JPMorgan · founder of an education startup. MEng Computer Science, UCL, specialising in AI.

LitHarness is my main independent project, an AI system that plans, writes, and checks long-form fiction. My other projects help agents use computers and explore learned control systems. I use coding agents throughout development, set the architecture and constraints, and review and verify their work.

Selected projects

LitHarness — LLM agent orchestration for serial fiction. Planning, persistent state, and revision. View the repository.

LitHarness · Main project

Turns a story idea into a world, chapter plans, and a growing manuscript. Tracks continuity and saves every accepted revision. The generation pipeline works; literary-quality evaluation remains an open research problem.

Walkthrough & writing sample →

Anode architecture: separate input sessions for you and an agent on the same Windows machine.

Gives an AI agent its own Windows desktop while you keep using your PC. Includes separate input focus, automation controls, and a virtual gamepad. Runs as the same user with access to the same files.

Haltere in Liftoff: a scripted figure-eight with yaw assistance, beside live neural activity, recorded on 20 September 2026.

A 30,000-neuron connectome-constrained network for drone control in Liftoff. As of 22 September 2026, an experimental controller with visual race-cue assistance has completed three-lap races on two seen courses. Unseen-course completion remains unproven.

AgentUI — an MCP server providing interactive controls for coding agents, including forms, sliders, diffs, and live previews. View the repository.

Guide a coding agent with forms, sliders, diffs, and live previews. The agent keeps working while you adjust the controls, then collects your decisions through MCP.

Actual Primordia simulation output: Physarum, Particle Life, Lenia, and reaction–diffusion.

An interactive GPU artificial-life laboratory: five worlds, 42 presets, saved discoveries, live measurements, and headless image and video export. The new Symbiosis world couples agents and chemistry.
