I automate the work.
I build what's needed.
Software Engineer specialized in workflow automation, enterprise delivery, and applied artificial intelligence. From critical systems to NLP research.
How I Can Help You
Engineering approach to concrete operational problems. No unnecessary buzzwords, only measurable solutions that eliminate bottlenecks.
Have an idea but don't know where to start?
I build the entire application: database, business logic, web interface, and integrated payments. You see the finished product — I take care of everything else.
"Central Parking is live in production, processing thousands of vouchers every month."
What if your system knew what the customer wanted before they asked?
I build systems that learn from your data and act on it: recommending, optimising, personalising. Not generic AI — intelligence tailored to your specific problem.
"Harbor Manager: zero assignment conflicts across hundreds of berths. NutriFit: personalised meal plan generated in seconds."
Your tools don't talk to each other and you waste hours copying data manually?
I connect your systems and automate the manual hand-offs: data enters once and flows wherever it's needed. No more copy-pasting between tools, spreadsheets and emails.
"Automated infrastructure running 24/7 on air navigation systems (IDSAirnav / ENAV Group): zero manual release interventions."
