I am a Senior Knowledge Graph & Generative AI Engineer with over two decades of experience in AI Data Context Architecture and Knowledge Engineering. My expertise lies in designing and implementing robust data architectures that provide essential context for AI models, ensuring that data is not only available but also semantically rich and interpretable.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in both autonomous and collaborative environments, delivering results without close supervision. My proficiency in complex problem-solving and graph analytics has enabled me to tackle intricate technical challenges across various domains. I am particularly skilled in leveraging state-of-the-art frameworks for Generative AI and LLM orchestration, developing highly effective applications that integrate structured knowledge from Knowledge Graphs and Vector Databases.

As a strategic leader in Semantic Technology, I have led initiatives that drive innovation at the intersection of Knowledge Graphs and AI. My commitment to mentoring and guiding others in the field has further solidified my role as a thought leader in the industry.
