I am a Forward Deployed Engineer at Avatar Investments, helping Italian enterprises leverage AI and Palantir to transform their business. My core conviction is that no AI system can truly perform without well-structured, reliable data at its foundation — which is why data architecture sits at the heart of everything I do.
Over the years, I have designed and scaled modern data platforms on Google Cloud Platform, Databricks and Snowflake (on both Azure and AWS). Until end of 2025, I channeled this expertise through my personal big data & cloud consultancy COalesCE, helping companies drive data modernization and AI enablement.
🥾 I have also had the unique challenge of managing a shoe factory, Zenkis in Kyiv, Ukraine (2020–2022), where I implemented 🏭 Lean Manufacturing principles (and I could also learn some 🪆 Russian).
