About Me


Senior AI Engineer with deep expertise in large language models and AI-driven innovation. Experienced in building AI systems that integrate advanced models into practical applications, improving efficiency, adaptability, and decision-making. Skilled in AI systems design, problem-solving, and creative AI innovation. Passionate about exploring how AI can assist users, interact with its environment, and reason in meaningful ways. Beyond engineering, I share AI insights through public speaking and past AI meetups. I also run a free AI course designed to help people integrate AI into their workflows and enhance their productivity. I have an entrepreneurial background, having founded and led several robotics, software development, and AI-driven startups. Currently, I am part of Aleph Alpha's AI Frontier team, where I tackle complex AI problems, create innovative solutions, and push the boundaries of LLM-powered and agentic AI systems.

I joined the Aleph Alpha's AI Frontier Team

In April 2024, I joined Aleph Alpha’s AI Frontier Team, a team dedicated to solving complex AI challenges and advancing large language model applications in practical use cases. My role involves designing and developing AI-driven solutions, optimizing LLM-powered agentic systems, and exploring innovative ways to enhance AI reasoning and interaction. Working at the intersection of AI engineering, problem-solving, creativity, and novel solutions, I contribute to projects that aim to make cutting-edge AI more accessible and impactful in real-world applications. 

Neural network based remote presenter

I hate computer presenters. I never seem able to remember which button goes forward on my slides. This is why I've built my own neural-network-powered vision remote presenter. Full details here -
