About
I am an experienced software development leader with a strong track record across both startups and enterprise environments. I am passionate about building smart, user-centric solutions that blend cutting-edge technology with practical impact. Recently, I have focused on generative AI and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technologies, leading the development of intelligent tools like Augmentera — a smart knowledge base platform.
I specialize in architecting scalable, component-based frontends, integrating large language models (LLMs) into real-world applications, and delivering full product lifecycles from prototype to production. I bring technical vision, team leadership, and a deep UX mindset to every product I touch.
