Applied AI Engineer & Data Scientist. Building intelligent systems that solve real business problems.
A bit about me
Photo coming soon
I'm an Applied AI Engineer and Data Scientist with a passion for turning complex problems into elegant, intelligent solutions. Currently serving as AI Engineer & AI Board Associate at Mantu, a global consulting firm where I drive AI strategy and implementation across enterprise clients.
My work spans the full stack — from designing ML pipelines and deploying production AI systems to building the interfaces that make them accessible. I've delivered projects across banking, finance, retail, and consulting, always focused on measurable business impact.
Beyond client work, I build AI-powered tools, contribute to open source, and share knowledge through crash courses and conference talks. I believe in learning by doing — hence the name beginner forever.
