AI Architect & Engineer
I design and build AI systems, drawing on experience in GenAI, data engineering, backend development, and mathematical optimization.
Experience & education
I began in backend development, moved into data engineering, and then worked as a contract researcher across GenAI and optimization. Since June 2026, my role has been AI Engineer at Datapizza.

WorkRead from top to bottom. Shared years show work and study in parallel; spacing is not proportional to duration.
From architecture to implementation
In contract research, I worked across two distinct GenAI systems and designed a mixed-integer scheduling optimizer. In personal work, I use arc42 architecture views, decision records, and evaluation criteria to keep AI-assisted development aligned with explicit system rules.
