AI Engineer & Senior Full-Stack Dev · Iași, RO

I build AI systems & web platforms that ship to production.

20+ years of full-stack engineering, now shipping LLM pipelines, RAG & autonomous agents. From open-source models to live products — reliable, hands-on, production-first.

AI Engineering

I turn open-source models into products that run.

Not just calling an API — designing the full pipeline: local LLMs, retrieval, agents with tools and memory, audio & speech, all packaged in Docker and shipped to production.

AI Agents

Autonomous agents with tool-calling, web-search grounding, persistent memory and a knowledge base — orchestrated with LangGraph or hand-rolled tool loops.

RAG & LLM Pipelines

Retrieval-augmented generation over private data: embeddings, vector search, grounded responses and structured JSON output — running fully on-prem when needed.

Speech & Multimodal

Production speech pipelines — transcription, forced alignment and phoneme analysis with Whisper-class models, plus image generation workflows on local GPUs.

Profile

A senior engineer who owns the whole product lifecycle.

From first conversation with the client to estimation, architecture, code, testing and ongoing support — I manage the entire development cycle with a high bar for quality and detail. These days that increasingly means AI engineering: shipping LLM pipelines and agents alongside classic web platforms.

Good communication, strong listening, and the ability to work across diverse teams and cultures. I take decisions with partial information and keep things moving.
