Summary

I build systems when others sell tools. AI isn’t a buzzword for me but a lever to create real relief.

As an AI Solution Architect, I combine deep technical expertise with business thinking. I think in structures, not interfaces. I don’t build demo projects but sustainable architectures – robust, maintainable, effective.

My goal: empower companies to not just use AI but to lead with it. Not to experiment but to take responsibility.
