I help companies integrate AI into real products — not prototypes, not demos, but systems that run in production and drive business results. Over the past 6+ years I've worked across fintech, marketing analytics, and trading platforms, building the full chain: data pipelines processing 1B+ records/day, NLP systems trained on 40M+ documents, real-time prediction engines, and LLM-powered agentic workflows. What separates me from a typical developer: I lead AI engineering at HexisAI, an AI engineering studio that builds custom agents for B2B clients and ships Hexa, our multi-tenant agentic platform in production. Same operator mindset on every engagement: ship fast, keep costs under control, make AI useful for end users — not just technically impressive. What I can do for you: → AI Integration: embed LLMs, RAG architectures, and AI agents into your existing products and workflows — no need to rebuild from scratch → AI Chatbot & Agentic Systems: design and deploy conversational AI and autonomous agents that handle real tasks, not just answer questions → Production ML: end-to-end model development, from data pipelines to deployment and monitoring → LLM Deployment & Optimization: fine-tuning, prompt engineering, cost optimization, and scaling for production workloads → Strategic AI Consulting: help your team decide what to build vs. buy, prioritize AI initiatives, and avoid common pitfalls Tech: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, PySpark, AWS, Databricks, Django Whether you need to add AI capabilities to an existing product, build an intelligent agent from scratch, or bring senior leadership to your ML stack — let's talk.

Hi! I am a data professional with 10+ years experience in Data Analytics and Data Engineering and a track record of successfully building predictive Machine Learning models using Python, as well as deploying them on Cloud infrastructure. This is how I helped my clients (so far). - Built several data pipelines that helped save $10k+/year in AWS costs. - Optimized running time of complex SQL queries (leading to a total $1k+/month cost reduction). - Built an automated system to ingest 100+ csv files in an AWS Athena instance. - Built Looker dashboards based on Google Sheets data and SQL Databases. - Automated data extraction from Snowflake with dbt scripts. - Packaged existing code into Python libraries to run on Azure DataBricks. Tools, languages and frameworks I use - Python (pandas, numpy, sciki-learn, tensorflow) - Docker - SQL - Git - AWS services (EC2, SQS, Athena, Glue, SageMaker) - Azure DataBricks - DBT - Django - Flask I prefer to avoid complexity and always look for solutions that are easy to implement, understand and mantain, with minimal technical knowledge. Let's chat about your next project!

I created a fintech news outlet from scratch as a solo founder and got the first impressions for the keyword “financial technology” on day 16, and the first visit from ChatGPT on day 18. In my previous role as Editor-in-Chief and Growth Manager, I grew the organic traffic of a fintech publication by 1,900% in one year, got it into Google News, and secured organic mentions from major publications and platforms including Forbes and Wikipedia. Ad spend: $0. I help companies build sustainable organic growth through modern SEO strategies that work across Google Search, AI search engines, and large language models—not just traditional rankings. My work combines technical SEO, content strategy, AI SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), semantic SEO, topical authority, and digital PR to improve visibility wherever people search for information, whether that's Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, or other AI-powered search experiences. I specialize in: - AI SEO & LLM visibility - Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) - Technical SEO audits - Organic growth strategy - Semantic SEO & topical authority - Content strategy & editorial SEO - Google News optimization - Entity SEO & knowledge graph optimization - Internal linking & site architecture - On-page SEO - Indexation & crawl optimization - Keyword research & search intent analysis - Content gap analysis - Programmatic SEO strategy - Digital PR & authority building - E-E-A-T optimization - AI content workflows that prioritize quality over volume My background is unusual because I've been both the strategist and the operator. I've built publications from zero, managed editorial teams, written content, led SEO strategy, handled technical improvements, and measured everything through organic growth. I don't chase shortcuts or algorithm hacks. I focus on building websites that earn visibility because they deserve it—through better information architecture, stronger topical coverage, technically sound websites, and content that satisfies both users and modern search systems. Whether you're launching a new site, recovering stagnant organic traffic, improving technical SEO, increasing AI search visibility, or building long-term topical authority, I can help create a strategy that compounds over time.
