About Poplavsky Solutions

Poplavsky Solutions is a founder-led AI engineering studio that focuses on deploying production-ready artificial intelligence systems. The firm is headed by its Founder and Technical Lead, Alexander Poplavsky, who has a background in astrophysics and computer science. The company operates on a B2B service and consulting model, offering hands-on engineering for each project and using a fixed-fee structure where appropriate. The company's services are divided into three primary lines. The first is AI strategy and technical advisory for businesses beginning to integrate AI into their operations. The second is the full on-premise deployment of AI models for organizations that cannot have their data processed in the cloud. This service covers hardware specification, model selection and fine-tuning, inference stack deployment, and the creation of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems over internal documents. The third service line is AI cost optimization, which helps teams reduce their AI-related expenses by analyzing and refining model calls, implementing caching, and optimizing infrastructure. Poplavsky Solutions serves a range of clients, from manufacturing firms requiring scientific analysis of proprietary data to educational initiatives. A notable area of specialization for the company is building applied AI for space exploration, which includes lunar terrain analysis, surface-feature detection, navigation, and scientific remote-sensing workflows. The firm also handles custom engagements for multi-modal pipelines, computer vision, and edge deployment, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the specific infrastructure, data, and compliance constraints of each client.
