What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a senior AI/ML role where I can lead R&D, mentor engineers, and build production-grade generative AI and computer vision systems in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I lead R&D as a data scientist and AI engineer, building end-to-end machine learning pipelines, generative LLM features, and production deployments using Ansible and MLOps practices. I design models across NLP, computer vision and time series, develop data collection engines, and prototype new AI-driven product ideas.

I have a strong track record as a consultant, speaker and mentor—supervising interns and master's students and presenting at industry meetups. I incubated a startup applying NLP to business-English learning and combine entrepreneurial thinking with deep technical skills to deliver scalable AI solutions.
