I build production GenAI systems, distributed training platforms, and reliable ML products at scale.
What I'm looking for
At Zendesk, I work as a Senior Machine Learning Scientist while founding Selfsupervised AI. I bring over a decade of AI research experience into robust AI and GenAI applications that drive industry innovation and efficiency.
At ERGO Group, I deployed 5+ deep-learning models for large-scale intelligent document processing, automating 40% of 100 million previously manual documents. I also led a distributed LLM training platform, continued pretraining Llama-3-8B on 1.1B financial tokens, and delivered RAG prototypes exceeding 95% retrieval accuracy.
I've led deep-learning applications in radiology, secured a €120,000 research grant for automated breast-cancer screening, and chaired algorithmic-fairness work that reduced bias in automated decisions. I actively review for ICML, ICLR, and NeurIPS, with a focus on responsible, scalable applied AI.
