My AI Journey

Over 25 years of experience in technology with a growing focus on AI and Machine Learning applications

From Software Architecture to AI Innovation

My passion for artificial intelligence began early in my career as I recognized the transformative potential of intelligent systems. With a solid foundation in computer science and software architecture, I've been fortunate to witness and contribute to the evolution of AI from academic concepts to practical business applications.

In recent years, I've focused intensively on AI/ML advancements, particularly the revolutionary impact of Large Language Models (LLMs). My approach combines technical expertise with strategic vision, helping organizations not just implement AI solutions, but integrate them thoughtfully into their broader business strategy and operations.

As an AI practitioner with both academic and industry experience, I bring a unique perspective that bridges theoretical understanding with practical implementation, always focusing on delivering measurable value and preparing organizations for an AI-driven future.
