Message

At Coopservice, I design and deploy production-ready RAG systems and high-performance backend microservices using Python, FastAPI, React, and Node.js. I lead a small development team with Agile/Scrum methods to deliver innovative microservices.

My industrial PhD research connects exact optimization models with practical industrial applications, including a published healthcare patient-transfer optimization study and an enterprise RAG platform for technical document repositories. I use MILP, Gurobi, Python, and data-driven methods to turn complex operations problems into usable systems.
