Michal Pogoda-rosikon is a founder and machine learning engineer with nine years of experience building practical AI systems and embedded software, currently leading bards.ai to help organizations prototype and integrate cutting-edge ML and language technologies. With a background in data science, robotics, and C++ development, he bridges research and production—having applied NLP for Polish at CLARIN-PL and developed low-level software for set-top boxes and a color-mixing device for tattoo studios. He combines hands-on model training and inference engineering with product-minded prototyping, taking ideas from proof-of-concept to ongoing R&D support. Based in Austin, Michal also contributes to the Polish ML community (ML in PL) and has rooted experience in autonomous systems and vision from his robotics work. A practical tinkerer, he often pairs algorithmic research with embedded control software, enabling tangible hardware–software products rather than purely academic prototypes.
