Who I Am

Hello! I'm Ivan Tuzov — an expert in artificial intelligence and digital marketing with over 14 years of experience.

I founded the CIMA agency in 2014 and have been helping companies implement innovative solutions that others considered impossible. In 2025, I launched two new startups: Analytica (AI platform for advertising effectiveness analysis) and ZERO messenger (messenger with enhanced privacy protection).

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed large advertising budgets across different countries and helped clients achieve impressive results: from increasing ROI by 150% to automating processes that save thousands of work hours.

My Expertise

Four core areas where I deliver end-to-end systems — not slide decks, working software in production.

AI Integration & Workflow Automation

Embedding AI into existing business operations — connecting LLMs, ERPs, CRMs and marketplaces so the right action happens automatically without humans copy-pasting between tabs.

OpenAI / Anthropic APIs · n8n · custom Python services · Directo · WordPress · Pipedrive

Custom AI Systems

Designing and building proprietary AI products end-to-end: data pipelines, model selection, fine-tuning, real-time personalization engines, and production deployment with monitoring.

FastAPI · vLLM / llama.cpp · self-hosted GPU · prompt engineering · evaluation harnesses

Data & Analytics Platforms

Building the data backbone businesses actually use: sales analytics, purchase recommendation engines, customer data platforms, dashboards that drive operational decisions, not just reports.

PostgreSQL / MySQL · Python pandas · Tracardi CDP · Matomo · Meridian MMM · Mesa

Marketing Operations

Multichannel loyalty programs, marketing automation, attribution and personalization at scale — the full operational stack between raw user data and the message they actually receive.

Loyalty engines · email/SMS/push automation · A/B testing · MMM · privacy-first attribution
Also experienced in

PPC & paid media across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Bing & programmatic · SEO & content ops · Consulting & team training on AI adoption and analytics maturity · Mobile apps (Capacitor, Android Play Store)

Selected Enterprise Cases

Enterprise Solutions

Production systems built for HUPPA — a premium European children's outerwear brand. Real platforms running real operations, not pilots or prototypes.

HUPPA · Production

Sales Analytics Platform

End-to-end sales analytics across retail stores, e-commerce, marketplaces and B2B wholesale. Unified data model spanning years of transactional history, drill-down dashboards by collection, country and channel, and operational reports the buying and finance teams use weekly.

PHP / MySQL Multi-channel Operational BI
HUPPA · Production

Purchase Recommendation Engine

Pre-order planning system for seasonal collections. Combines historical sell-through, weather anomalies, carryover stock, MOQ tiers and macro adjustments into per-SKU production recommendations — replacing weeks of manual Excel work with a defensible, transparent forecast workflow.

Python / pandas Forecasting Inventory Ops
HUPPA · Production

Dynamic Marketplace Pricing

Automated pricing engine for marketplace channels — direct API integrations push prices, inventory and promotions per channel rules. Margin guardrails, channel-specific business logic, and reconciliation with Directo ERP keep stock and pricing consistent without manual intervention.

REST APIs Marketplace Ops ERP Integration
Flagship
HUPPA · In Build

Multichannel Loyalty with Real-Time AI Personalization

Unified loyalty program across web, retail POS and mobile, with AI-driven personalization computed in real time. Each member sees offers, content and recommendations tailored to their purchase history, browsing behavior and channel — generated on the fly by an AI personalization engine, not pre-baked segments.

Real-Time AI Multichannel CDP / Loyalty Engine POS · Web · Mobile

Specific business metrics are confidential by client agreement. Architecture and approach details available on request.
