Summary
Alexandru Gherega is a Senior Software Engineer and Computer Scientist with 17 years of experience spanning software development, data science, and AI, and a PhD in Computer and Information Sciences. Based in Bucharest, he combines hands-on backend engineering—especially Clojure—and production-grade AI/ML work, with leadership roles coordinating teams, mentoring, and engaging stakeholders. His career blends academic research (AI for particle accelerator control, climate risk modeling) with product delivery, MLOps, and NLP/NLU system design. At icslab.eu he runs research-driven engineering, delivering training and client-facing solutions while actively speaking at conferences. Comfortable across Python and JVM ecosystems, he brings rigorous statistical and time-series expertise alongside functional-programming craftsmanship. An unusual strength is his track record of translating academic results into production systems and training peers to adopt FP and reproducible ML practices.
