As co-founder of Digesto he applied ML and large-text processing to legal information, showing an ability to turn research-grade techniques into practical, user-focused products. At Chemtech and beyond he managed large interdisciplinary teams and multi-million-dollar opportunities for industrial IT, combining scalability, performance and workflow optimization.
