01 / About
Enterprise software, fintech and AI.
With 20+ years of experience in software engineering, architecture, and technical leadership, I build scalable systems at the intersection of enterprise software, fintech, and AI.
Today, as Head of AI Engineering at ForInvest, I focus on turning Generative AI from experimentation into reliable, production-grade engineering capabilities.
My background spans high-performance financial systems, distributed architectures, backend platforms, desktop, mobile, and web engineering. This breadth allows me to approach AI not simply as an application layer, but as part of the broader software engineering lifecycle — from architecture and development to testing, security, deployment, and operations.
My current focus is AI-native software engineering: designing agentic systems, RAG architectures, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, and AI-powered developer tools that improve engineering productivity and R&D efficiency.
I also work on domain-specific LLM development, including fine-tuning models for financial use cases. I focus on adapting foundation models to financial terminology, workflows, and domain knowledge while evaluating model accuracy, reliability, and production readiness.
I am particularly interested in building AI agents that become reliable participants in the software development lifecycle — understanding requirements, analyzing codebases, generating and validating changes, improving test coverage, and supporting engineering teams.
As a technical leader, I enjoy simplifying complex engineering environments, connecting multidisciplinary teams, and establishing pragmatic standards that enable teams to move faster without compromising reliability, security, or scalability.
