Architecture, delivery, and teams
01 / Expertise
My work sits between technology, product, and business. The aim is not an isolated model or impressive demo, but a useful system that holds up in the real world.
LLM applications, RAG, agentic systems, document intelligence, and enterprise knowledge tools designed around real workflows.
Statistical modelling, predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, IoT, and large-scale time-series analytics.
Technical strategy, software architecture, multidisciplinary teams, and the decisions that move products safely into production.
02 / Selected work
A selection of problem areas I have worked on and led—from early research through production delivery.
Systems that extract structured information, search clauses semantically, compare contract versions and supplements, and make complex contract knowledge usable.
Agentic systems that select data sources, analyze documents, call APIs and algorithms, generate visualizations, and complete multi-step tasks.
Production workflows that classify, understand, extract, validate, and compare information across contracts, invoices, reports, and business documents.
Data Science systems that use high-volume operational data to detect anomalies, anticipate failures, and support better decisions in the field.
03 / Delivery
Frame the business problem and the decision the system needs to improve.
Choose an approach, architecture, and delivery path that fit the real constraints.
Prototype, test, implement, and connect the system to the surrounding product.
Deploy, observe, improve, and keep the system reliable in production.
04 / About
Since 2017, I have worked across Data Science, AI, and software engineering—progressing from hands-on development into company-wide technology leadership at eMentalist.
As CTO, I lead multidisciplinary teams, shape architecture and technical strategy, and work directly with customers from early workshops through delivery and rollout. I remain closely involved in the technology: evaluating AI approaches, designing systems, reviewing implementation, testing assumptions, and solving difficult production problems.
My work has spanned real estate, industrial IoT, energy, the public sector, hospitality, communications, and document-intensive enterprise workflows. The recurring challenge is learning a domain quickly and translating it into a system that works in practice.
05 / Connect
If you are building an AI or data product, modernizing a document-heavy workflow, or looking for technical leadership, I’d be glad to hear what you are working on.
