With a strong academic background in advanced artificial intelligence and comprehensive experience in software engineering, I have substantial experience in providing strategic and technical expertise in AI development and implementation.
Currently, as Lead AI Engineer at the AI Centre of Excellence, I drive the strategic development and delivery of AI initiatives across a wide spectrum of technologies and business domains. My focus spans the entire AI lifecycle, from vision and architecture to production-grade deployment, delivering impactful, real-world solutions across Generative AI, Machine Learning, and predictive analytics.
Before PostNL, I worked at IBM as Advisory AI Engineer and Discipline Community Leader for the NCEE (North, Center and Eastern Europe) market, driving AI value through rapid PoV/MVP delivery on WatsonX, fine-tuning foundation models and co-developing end-to-end solutions with IBM’s technical, research, and sales teams.
