Principal AI engineer · Paphos, Cyprus

AI systems that make it to production.

I build AI systems that ship, and hand teams something they can run without me. Eight years of production ML: Bosch, caralegal, TrendSurfer.

Not taking on new client work until further notice.

How I work.

Four things that stayed true across Bosch, caralegal and TrendSurfer.

  1. 01

    Shipping beats demoing.

    If it isn't taking real traffic, I don't count it as done.

  2. 02

    Production-grade from the start.

    Observability, evals, and deploy pipelines are part of the build, not a later cleanup.

  3. 03

    Everyone stays in the loop.

    I carry the hard parts and keep the team in the picture: clear written updates and decisions you can see. No surprises.

  4. 04

    Easy to work with, on purpose.

    One focused call and a short written update a week. Light on meetings, heavy on clarity.

Still happy to hear from you.

I'm not taking on new projects right now, but my inbox is open: for people I've worked with, and for a good conversation about agents, quant systems, or what shipping AI actually takes. Email or LinkedIn, whichever you prefer.
