Senior🎓
Top SchoolHoria Cristescu is a Principal Applied Scientist at UiPath with 10+ years of machine learning experience, specializing in LLM and VLM fine-tuning, evaluation engineering, and production-grade document understanding. He led the core Document Understanding effort through six architectural generations—shipping multi-modal pipelines and multilingual models across 100+ document types—and holds patents stemming from that work. More recently he first-authored UI-CUBE, an enterprise benchmark for computer-use agents that emphasizes deterministic, programmatic validation and operational reliability rather than purely task accuracy. He also developed the Claude Playbook, a structured agent steering harness used across hundreds of tasks to keep multi-session agent work coherent. Based in Bucharest, he combines deep research instincts with hands-on engineering, from synthetic data and schema-matching retrieval to deployment on Azure ML.
