A Multidisciplinary Builder

I started in theoretical physics—drawn to fundamental questions about how things work. That curiosity led me to artificial intelligence, then to finance, and eventually to leading engineering teams building production AI systems. The thread through all of it is simple: I love geting to know how everything works, building things and solving hard problems with brilliant people.

Today I lead a team of data scientists and ML engineers, designing and deploying AI/ML solutions that turn ambitious ideas into real, recurring revenue. My approach blends technical depth with business pragmatism—I care as much about why we’re building something as how we can build it effectively.

12+ Data Scientists Led
30+ Production-scale AI/ML
Pipelines Delivered
10+ Years Across 3 Disciplines

Areas of Expertise

AI/ML Engineering

Designing and deploying production-grade AI systems—from RAG pipelines and multi-agent architectures to end-to-end MLOps on multi-cloud infrastructure.

Data Science Mastery

There's no AI/ML model without data science, thorough understanding of the data science work flow from exploratory data analysis all the way to data storytelling.

Multi-domain Understanding

Academic background in physics, artificial intelligence and finance. Paired with project experience in logistics, telco and government sectors to name a few.

Technical Leadership

Leading teams of data scientists and ML engineers with a focus on code quality, agile delivery, and aligning technical roadmaps with business strategy.

Strategic Planning

Translating technical capabilities into business value. Bridging the gap between engineering teams and C-level stakeholders to drive data-informed decisions.

Applied Research

Exploring the frontier of context engineering, agentic AI, and sensor fusion—turning research into practical, deployed solutions that solve real problems.
