Senior Business Consultant | Interim Manager
A creative, business-savvy professional with 20+ years of experience in strategic planning, data automation, crisis management, and management consulting – with a modern twist on AI-driven solutions.
I am a seasoned business consultant with over 20 years of progressive experience across various industries. I merge creative vision with strong analytical skills to drive business transformations and implement AI-driven solutions. Passionate about innovative projects, I also enjoy traveling, photography, and sharing my insights through workshops and presentations.
As a leader in AI-driven transformation, I bring advanced expertise to help companies leverage artificial intelligence to reshape and modernize their core processes. I specialize in integrating AI into data warehouses and enterprise architectures, enabling organizations to increase efficiency, automate routine tasks, and elevate their operations to a new level. I utilize cutting-edge AI tools and cloud platforms to ensure a seamless transition toward data-driven and AI-powered solutions.
I am actively involved in integrating quantum-resistant encryption algorithms into modern IT solutions. I closely follow current standards in post-quantum cryptography (such as NIST recommendations) and implement technologies like CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium. I have hands-on experience with the Qiskit framework and the principles of quantum programming, which enables me to design security architectures ready for the future of quantum computing.
Data and AI architect. Hands-on with generative AI since 2021 (GPT-3), with LLM-based systems in production and AI-assisted delivery as standard practice.
AI architect and full-stack engineer with a data warehouse background (Azure, Databricks, Data Vault 2.0). Between 2021 and 2026 I designed, built and now operate 22 production applications, six of them with LLMs in production (Claude API, GPT-4o, Whisper): medical-form OCR, an AI editorial pipeline, OSINT extraction from RSS, automated audit reports and a voice interface to AI agents.
How I build: specification first, one team of role-based agents per project, standardised As-is/To-be documentation, human review of every release, automated tests, human-in-the-loop on decisions that matter.
