About

CTO, physicist, and researcher focused on turning data and AI into reliable products and platforms in complex, regulated environments. As Partner & CTO at Ambrosys, I build platforms, AI capabilities, and engineering organizations in tolling, mobility, energy, and regulated environments. My background spans physics, machine learning, and software engineering, from academic research to large-scale production systems. My work sits at the intersection of technology, product, data, and organizational design: platform architecture, MLOps, streaming data systems, and applied AI that performs under real-world constraints.
