Engineer.
Builder.
Problem solver.
AI Engineer, Tech Entrepreneur and Forbes 30u30 — building applied AI solutions for startups, enterprises, and the public good, since before ChatGPT made it cool.
Ways to work together.
Three ways in, depending on where you are. Most start with a conversation.
AI consulting
For companies that bought AI tools and aren't seeing the gains, and for founders deciding what to build. A conversation, a short audit of processes and data, then a roadmap.
Not sure where AI fits in the way your company works?
How consulting works →Workshops
Full-day, hands-on sessions for management, technical and non-technical teams, in Romanian or English. Honest theory in the morning, practice on your own work in the afternoon.
Want the whole team to use AI with judgement, not hype?

Sapio AI
When the roadmap says build: production AI systems from the studio founded in 2021, across legaltech, medtech, retail and SaaS.
Need an AI system shipped to production?
Start a project →You cannot implement AI without rewiring your own processes.
Factories swapped steam engines for electric motors and, for decades, little changed. The gains came when the factory was rebuilt around the task. Companies adopting AI are at the same point.
I go deeper on this in the podcastsIn conversation.
Three short excerpts from recent podcasts. Easier to judge the thinking by hearing it.
Documentation used to be the last thing you wrote. Now it comes first: you write the spec, then agents build against tests that keep validating it.
Spec-first changes the shape of a whole team. The hard thinking moves up front, into defining what 'correct' even means, and the agents do the building underneath that definition.

ai-aflat.ro: Romanian law, one question away.
A free AI assistant for Romanian legislation, started as a side project in 2024. It searches 220,000+ legislative acts, cites the law and links the official source. 15,000+ people have used it, with no marketing budget.

Production AI systems for companies.
Through Sapio AI: assistants and agents, document search, computer vision and speech. Among the builds, an early ChatGPT-based multilingual support agent for a retail startup that went on to raise a $4.7M seed round, and a Romanian speech-to-text model.

Four years teaching at Politehnica Bucharest.
Automatic control labs, plus a public lecture series recorded on YouTube during the pandemic. Explaining the mechanism is still most of the job.
See more →An AI is a finite set of states. The brain is analog: between 0 and 1 there is an infinity, and somewhere in that infinity sits the spark we call human creativity.
Digital systems are discrete: countably many states, however large the number. An analog system has infinite room between any two of them, and I suspect creativity lives somewhere in that continuum.
