I am an engineer, technical manager and AI researcher with a passion for cutting-edge technologies. My work spans machine learning, image processing, MES, mobile, VR and games design, and I enjoy turning ideas into robust, scalable systems. I thrive in multidisciplinary environments and value practical, verifiable results over theory alone. I lead cross-functional teams from small to medium sizes, contribute hands-on when needed, and design architectures that scale. I’m motivated by delivering high-quality AI-driven experiences, mentoring others, and aligning technical decisions with business goals.
