Is Vlad Brakalo legit?
Short answer: yes. I'm a senior AI engineer with 6+ years in IT, Top Rated Plus on Upwork (top 3%) with a 5.0 rating, and I spent 2 years on the core team at Sellify AI - building AI agents that outsold human sales reps at some of the largest pest control companies in the US.
The longer answer is this whole page: named clients, public numbers, and reviews you can open yourself on Upwork, LinkedIn, and GitHub. You don't have to take my word for any of it - you can check the sources yourself.

"I've worked with Vlad for almost 2 years on Sellify AI and he did an outstanding job. Vlad knows his craft well and was able to handle complex engineering tasks independently. He is quick to learn new things and adapts fast when requirements change (and in startups, they almost always change). I'm glad we had him on the team!"

Named clients, numbers you can open yourself
The dollar figures are from Sellify AI's own published case studies; the engineering write-ups are my own client work. Every link goes off my site to the original source.

One person, one name
Vlad Brakalo and Vladyslav Brakalo are the same me
Vlad is what everyone calls me. Vladyslav is the legal name on my registered business - AI Development Vladyslav Brakalo, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland. That's why a couple of the Upwork reviews above say "Vladyslav": same person, legal name on the contract.
This page works because I keep one identity across every platform, so you can cross-check me instead of trusting a single page. Here's everywhere I am - open any of them and it's the same person, the same work.
