I lead AI strategy and transformation at iMocha. I build AI agents, cloud platforms and data systems that hold up in production.
Inspired by the ESP32 sound visualizer I built at home.
I have spent more than thirteen years at iMocha, a skills assessment and talent analytics platform. I started deep in databases and web applications, and today I lead work across engineering, AI/ML and cloud infrastructure.
My job is to turn AI from an idea into something people use every day: agents that answer real questions, platforms that scale, and data that can be trusted.
Agent pipelines that understand skills, jobs and learning content. Natural-language questions turned into safe, explainable answers. Knowledge graphs that map how skills relate to each other.
LangGraph, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Neo4j
Platforms on Azure and AWS, from app hosting and containers to API gateways and multi-account setups. Built to be secure, observable and simple to run.
Azure App Service, Container Apps, AKS, API Management, AWS ECS Fargate, RDS, Terraform
Where I started, and still close to my heart. High-availability SQL Server, large schema and data migrations, and search at scale.
SQL Server (Always On), PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse
Moving long-running products to modern stacks step by step, without stopping the business.
ASP.NET, .NET, Angular
A demo is a start. The real work is making it reliable, measurable and cheap to run.
If a system makes a decision, people should be able to see why. Clear rules beat hidden guesses.
Improve what exists with targeted changes instead of rewriting everything at once.
Agree on conventions and open questions early, so the build goes fast.
My personal AI assistant, living in Telegram. It is built with LangGraph and Azure AI Foundry and uses a three-tier memory model, so it remembers what matters and forgets what doesn't.
It started years ago as a small voice assistant on an ESP32 board.
Happy to talk about AI in HR tech, cloud architecture, or a fun hardware project.
