What I'm looking for

I'm looking for full-time remote work in EU-friendly hours, through EOR employment or a B2B contract, where I can build and operate governed AI products and automation systems.

I built and launched Verpy and ArdenAlgo, two AI ventures spanning product strategy, infrastructure, pricing, brand, and go-to-market. Verpy is an AI decision layer for SKU-heavy e-commerce, while ArdenAlgo brings transparency-first trading research to market through a public hash-chained paper-trading ledger and TradingView indicator.

As an independent AI and automation engineer, I delivered a BigQuery, applied ML, and 61-tool LLM analytics platform for a Polish B2B wholesale distributor, identifying approximately 715K PLN in dead-stock exposure across around 8,800 SKUs. I’ve also operated production automations, built more than 100 workflows for eight European e-commerce companies, and run a subscription-payment backend for a Turkish coaching platform.

I ship quickly with evaluation gates, automated tests, approval controls, and traceable data contracts, so live AI systems remain governed and measurable.
