## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking to join an ambitious, funded startup where I can combine product leadership with hands-on technical execution, especially on AI-native products, B2B SaaS, automation, industrial technology, or technical and developer-focused products.
```

## About

```text
At Uktena, I co-founded an industrial AI startup and designed a product that turned work videos and documents into step-by-step technical instructions. Using computer vision, language models, and mixed reality, the platform delivered instructions to workers through Microsoft HoloLens and the web.

At large industrial companies, the platform reduced process documentation from more than 18 months to just over six weeks. I formed and coordinated a multidisciplinary team and worked directly with industrial clients to turn complex workflows into useful software.

Today, as an AI & Automation Consultant, I design and implement solutions from process analysis through production. For a real estate agency, I created a system that generates property images, provides buyers with a configuration website, and sends the sales team a personalized customer summary.

At Desert Saber, I develop synthetic learning and simulation environments for industrial training in Unreal Engine. I also work on production pipelines and, since 2026, explore and implement AI automation in the production process.
