Message

At Microsoft, I work as an AI Apps Cloud Solution Architect and a Data & AI Cloud Solution Architect. My work builds on experience designing AI application architectures and data solutions, with a focus on manufacturing analytics and Industrial IoT.

As a freelance AI Advisor, I conducted AI and data strategy analysis for two start-ups, implemented Azure Document Intelligence and Azure OpenAI pilots for manufacturing analytics, and fine-tuned RAG architectures. At applied - innovation makers, I worked on multimodal RAG and agentic architectures for machine-alarm troubleshooting and data analysis.
