Dima Yarmak
I'm an operator who took AI seriously early.
Twenty years of operational leadership. The last two spent learning what AI actually changes about the job — by running it inside EPAM, and by building my own systems from scratch.
OpenBrain
My personal AI memory system. Telegram in, Claude and Google Sheets out, one database in the middle. I designed it. AI agents built it. I'm not a developer and never wrote a line of code.
The architecture is open-source. The principle scales from personal to company.
Writing
Notes on what AI changes about operational work, what I'm building, and whatever I read, watched, or thought worth commenting on. Reflections, not takes.
About
Five years leading Global Education at EPAM. 300+ people, 24 countries, $20M+ budget. Before that: fifteen years across operations, strategy, and building teams that outlast their founder.
