About Me

I'm a Senior Manager at the Generative AI Innovation Center at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I lead initiatives to help enterprise customers leverage cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies. I'm also the founder of PauKode, a consultancy where I help companies define strategy in data migration and modernization, AI, MLOps, and generative AI. With a PhD in Complex Systems Prediction and Optimization, I bring over a decade of experience in data architecture, machine learning, and AI solutions.

I've had the privilege of working with leading global organizations to solve their most complex data and AI challenges. I've helped Novartis implement advanced demand forecasting solutions using Amazon SageMaker and GluonTS to optimize their pharmaceutical supply chain. I've partnered with London Stock Exchange Group to enhance their post-trade client services using Amazon Q Business, transforming how they deliver value to their customers. I've also collaborated with organizations like BP and NatWest to build robust data architectures, implement MLOps best practices, and deploy generative AI solutions that drive real business impact.

My work focuses on bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business outcomes, helping organizations modernize their data infrastructure and unlock the full potential of AI and machine learning.
