AI Engineering Leader & Builder

I build AI systems that enterprises actually deploy — from agentic workflows and knowledge graphs to voice AI and real-time ML at scale.

About

I've spent 15+ years building software that ships at scale — and the last several focused on bringing AI from prototype to production for Fortune 500 companies.

I lead engineering teams, design system architectures, and get things into production. Streaming platforms processing millions of ad auctions daily, travel companies serving 300K+ users across 240+ locations, publishing enterprises migrating 4B+ documents — these are the kinds of problems I solve.

Currently, I'm deep in agentic AI: autonomous agents, MCP integrations, knowledge graphs, and voice AI systems. I build things that work in the real world, not just in demos.

Harvard Business School. Wharton. AWS Certified Solution Architect. EPAM CEO Award. Conference speaker across Europe and the US. But what matters most is what ships.
