Work Experience
Robotics Engineer
American Woodmark - Main
- Developed a Python library for computer vision/6D-pose estimation (a depth sensor, a point cloud, the Cobot API) with necessary algebra and transformations, working part- and full-time as a robotics engineer.
- Built simplified spatial data visualization for debugging the solution.
- Tested with different robots/cobots and camera setups. Simplified and automated the production calibration setup.
Senior Data Engineer
10thMan Media
- Designed data models, worked on rapid prototyping, developed back-end solutions, and supported production and product management teams.
- Developed new ML algorithms and experiments: classification, regression, anomaly detection, and clustering.
- Designed data architecture and implemented data flow processes using Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Python.
Lead Developer | Lead Scientist
SmartLife Robotics
- Designed technical requirements for the development team, planning and documenting technical specifications for features or system design; designed, built, and configured applications to meet business process and application requirements.
- Was in charge of directing the development team in the design, development, coding, testing, and debugging of applications, writing testable, scalable, and efficient code and leading code reviews and mentoring team members, and ensuring quality standards.
- Developed key experiments for machine learning with TensorFlow and Scikit frameworks.
- Built ML prototype and production-ready projects for third-party customers. I worked on reporting and delivery.
Lead Developer | Co-founder
Lead Developer, Co-founder
- Worked on Cognitum, a W3C member, that delivers smart data analytics and data science for various industries such as space and defense, health, and gov in partnership with Microsoft, IBM, and Cognizant.
- Managed projects for customers like Airbus, European Space Agency. Led PoC projects for key customers. Raised VC money and managed shareholders. I worked on business development, tender management, product development, and led C++/C#.
- Worked with the development team on desktop/server for Semantic Server product (OWL/SWRL/CNL).
- Raised VC money and managed shareholders, did business development, tender management, product development, H2020, and national research programs.
Project Manager
Samsung
- Did comprehensive software development management for B2B projects for international customers, based in Samsung Europe Research and Development Center.
- Worked on project scheduling, reporting, and monitoring within the multinational team.
- Onsite-supported foreign customers across Europe and Asia.
Group Leader | Software Engineer
Samsung
- Acted as a group leader and software engineer; C++ code inspector. I was responsible for the quality of source code and architectural issues.
- Awarded as "Most Innovative Engineer of Year 2006" and “Outstanding Performer in 2008” Managing Director’s Award.
- Managed developers’ team within the technical area.
Experience
AI/ML for Psychometric Targeting
I worked on AI-based models based on human digital traits on the internet combined with personality traits such as OCEAN and BIG5. Such a psychometric estimation system allows for better ad targeting according to the user's personality; models train on 16+ thousand user data collected from huge research studies in Poland.
Commercial application deployed to several business and industrial customers.
AI-powered Interactive Social Robot Software Framework
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9TZUmvTeiQAI-powered social robot with vision, speech, tts, asr, all powered by NVidia edge computer dedicated for robotic applications.
We have built custom AI models for low-level mechatronics control, robot perception (middleware), and enhanced SDK/API exposed for behavioral programming with .NET.

The project got the second prize at the SmartToys contest by the United Arab Emirates government and World Economic Forum in 2021.
Ontology Editor with Natural Language
https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Fluent_EditorIt is fully compatible with most of the Semantic Web W3C standards—OWL, RDF, SPARQL, SKOS—but at the same time has an intuitive user interface that uses the Ontorion Controlled Natural Language (OCNL). It is a human-friendly alternative to XML ontology languages like OWL or RDF but is completely compatible with OWL2, RDF, and SWRL. Furthermore, the OCNL can also be used as a query language compatible with SPARQL.
A successful tool used today in many heavy industry companies leveraging ontologies and semantics.
