I build production-ready AI workflow automations that help businesses reduce manual work, cut operational costs, and run more efficiently. If your team is spending hours copying data between tools, processing documents, updating CRMs, writing repetitive reports, handling messy spreadsheets, or managing workflows that should not depend on manual effort, I can help you turn that process into a reliable automated system. I specialize in custom AI automation solutions built with Python, APIs, LLMs, and cloud infrastructure. My work is not limited to quick prototypes or basic no-code workflows. I design and build tailored systems that fit the specific way your business operates, then deploy them properly so they can run in production. Projects I've Delivered: ✅ Patent Lawyer AI Agent - Drafts applications and responds to examiner rejections, saving 12-16 hours per month. ✅ Lead Magnet AI Chatbot - Transformed a Google Forms survey into an engaging chatbot, boosting completion rates by 27%. ✅ AI-Powered Customer Support - Intelligent chatbots that reduce human rep costs while improving response times. ✅ Appraisal Reports Analyzer - Automted document analysis and data extraction for a real-estate investment firm. Turning hours spent on analyzig a report to 15 minutes. ✅ Medical Procedures Classifier - Automated system for reading hospitalization reports and extracting the formal procedures that were performed. Built for a public hospital. I specialise in: 🌟 The entire Python AI/ML stack 🌟 Document processing and analysis 🌟 Data extraction from unstructured data sources 🌟 Document generation in formal templates 🌟 Web scraping and API integration 🌟 Agentic LLM workflows 🌟 Database management 🌟 AI evaluations and observability 🌟 Prompt and context Engineering 🌟 Deployment to production on GCP, AWS, Docker, Hetzner I jave a rich background that combines AI engineering, Data science, Python development, cloud deployment, and business consulting. That means I do not just write code, I take the time to understand the workflow, the bottleneck, the business goal, and the practical constraints before designing the solution. A good automation should not just “work in a demo.” It should be reliable, maintainable, and useful in the real world. What You Can Expect When Working With Me: ➡️ Deep understanding of your business goals and technical requirements ➡️ Clear communication throughout the project lifecycle ➡️ Custom solutions tailored specifically to your use case, not generic approaches ➡️ Creative problem-solving that finds insights others might miss ➡️ Rapid learning curve for domain-specific knowledge ➡️ Timely delivery and high-quality, documented code If you have a repetitive workflow, an internal process that is slowing your team down, or an AI automation idea you want to turn into a production-ready system, send me a message and I’ll help you map the best way to build it.

Many companies already have data. The real challenge is turning that data into better business decisions. That is where I help: I design decision systems that combine data science, forecasting, mathematical optimization, artificial intelligence and business automation to solve real operational and strategic problems. Every project starts with understanding how decisions are made inside the business before selecting the right analytical or AI-based solution. Whether the objective is improving demand planning, optimizing inventory, automating repetitive processes, reducing financial risk or building AI-powered workflows, my focus is always the same: delivering practical solutions that create measurable business value.
