ABOUT
15+ years working at the intersection of technology, data, product development, and business. I've held roles ranging from developer and product owner to Chief Technical Officer and Chief Digital Officer, often responsible for building and scaling digital systems, developing new products, and leading technical teams.
I'm used to working in complex environments with multiple stakeholders, high delivery requirements, and systems that must be reliable, scalable, and maintainable. For the last couple of years, I've been focusing on applied AI, helping companies integrate LLMs, computer vision, and voice AI into their products.
I've always been fascinated by AI and machine learning — and I've long used AI, optimizers, and similar tools to solve problems that go beyond my own theoretical expertise. AI is a tool much like a hammer, but wielding it effectively requires experience and a deep understanding of what the outcome should be. Over the years, I've accumulated a broad spectrum of knowledge — from deep technical skills to business strategy — and I believe that having end-to-end understanding, from cloud infrastructure to high-level business priorities, is a real competitive edge. I thrive in innovative spaces where the bleeding edge is the starting point — always eager to learn, experiment, and gain new experiences.
