Hello! I’m Ionel Tudor Calistru, a Senior ML Engineer based in Switzerland with a strong track record in building scalable AI systems, NLP, and multimodal models. I enjoy turning complex problems into robust, production-ready solutions and collaborating with cross-functional teams to create real-world impact. My work spans machine learning, information retrieval, and MLOps, with a focus on delivering reliable pipelines and effective vector search capabilities. I have a solid research and teaching background from my PhD and academic roles, and I actively share knowledge through talks and mentoring. I thrive in multicultural environments and continuously explore cutting-edge AI topics, including RAG, GenAI, and hybrid search architectures, to stay ahead in a fast-paced field.…Hello!
