Leading AI initiatives

I started in research, building ML algorithms for time series anomaly detection. From there, I moved into Data Engineering, designing big data pipelines, before transitioning to Machine Learning Engineering where I deployed production AI systems for industrial and financial applications.

Today, I lead Data & AI initiatives, combining hands-on engineering with team leadership. My work spans RAG-based chatbots, AI agents, and MLOps platforms on Azure. I believe in building AI that delivers real business value, not just technical complexity.
