(last update: May 2022)

Hello! I majored in Computer Science with distinction at Poznań University of Technology, and now I'm a double PhD student (Computer Science at Innsbruck University, Quantitative Economics/Information Systems at Poznań University of Economics and Business). I'm also studying undergrad pure maths at Adam Mickiewicz University during the weekends to get better with the theory (extramural studies). You can describe me as a mixture of technical experience and theoretical background, with hands-on experience with collecting data from scratch, cleansing things, building AI/ML models, transferring them to code, and inferring new findings in various business settings (maritime, telecommunications, art markets..).

1. Introduction

With almost 10 years of experience with data-oriented applications, I'm now something between machine learning/big data/computer vision/data engineer/data scientist, with a strong scientific orientation. I've taken very different technical positions in several international projects, ranging from rank-and-file developer to solution architect and tech lead. I've worked mostly with structured tabular data (including streams), graphs and images - I would like to focus on the latter, preferably in a leadership role.

2. Professional Experience

AI Clearing. Mar 2021–now, position: Tech lead/AI Researcher. Responsibilities: Technical leadership in the research team. Planning and supervising R&D (e.g. feature detection for aerial photogrammetry, ML with vector graphics) and pure research projects (semi-supervised learning in computer vision). Coordination of the scientific cooperation with the Institute of Informatics at the University of Warsaw. Guiding less experienced colleagues. Bringing state-of-the-art computer vision solutions and ideas from the world of scientific research to the proprietary aerial imagery processing production system. Carrying out scientific experiments and writing research papers. Focusing on uncertainty estimation and various tasks (semantic segmentation, object detection, feature detection) in limited label conditions.
