Engineering leadership
in the age of AI.
International speaker and engineering leader exploring how teams can integrate AI responsibly, improve performance, and lead without losing critical thinking.
About
Oleg Reksha is an engineering leader, international speaker, and advisor focused on leadership, performance, and responsible AI integration in technology teams.
He has led engineering teams of up to 12 people across enterprise and startup environments, served as technical lead on mobile and backend initiatives, and acted as Chief Technology Officer at a pre-seed startup where he oversaw architecture and product development.
Oleg speaks about how modern engineering organizations can adopt emerging technologies — including AI — without sacrificing critical thinking, team autonomy, or long-term capability. His recent public appearances include DroidCon Lisbon 2025 and the Evolution Exchange podcast, where he discussed the future of AI, work, and leadership responsibility.
Perspective
AI will not replace leadership — but it will expose it.
Many organizations rush into AI adoption chasing productivity metrics, while ignoring decision quality and long-term capability.
I focus on leadership maturity in AI-augmented environments — ensuring teams use AI as leverage, not as a substitute for thinking.
