Top SchoolKarol Piekarski is an AI engineer and Python developer with nine years of experience building agentic AI, NLP, and ML systems that move from data acquisition through production-ready information retrieval and agentic workflows. He has helped multiple London and Prague startups deploy computer vision and transformer-based NLP models and still leverages pre-LLM neural techniques for robust document extraction and classification. A former founder of Medialab Katowice and a PhD researcher in culture studies, he blends urban innovation, data visualisation and research rigor into pragmatic engineering solutions. He has taught data analysis and prompt engineering at Multiverse and lectured at art and university institutions, translating complex theory about attention and information overload into practical tools.
