About

I build AI systems that transform how businesses operate. As co-founder of Nordoon, I'm creating vertical AI agents that automate supply chain operations—from document processing to intelligent workflow automation.

With over 15 years of experience developing and deploying cutting-edge machine learning in production environments, I've led projects that bridge the gap between research and real-world impact.

I created QMiner, an open-source analytics platform for processing large-scale real-time data streams, and co-created Event Registry, a system that identifies and tracks world events from global news sources.

My research career includes a Ph.D. from Jozef Stefan Institute, consulting work with Bloomberg L.P., a Marie Curie Fellowship at Stanford University, PostDoc at IBCN, Ghent University, and project management of the EU XLike project.

Research

My work spans text mining, semantic analysis, and large-scale data processing, resulting in 120+ publications with 3,600+ citations.
