I build and evaluate machine-learning systems for behavior, search and recommendation.
I’m an AI/ML Research Engineer with a PhD in Cognitive Science. I compare models, design inference and retrieval pipelines, and translate research into usable systems—from experimental prototypes to production search and recommendation.

01 — Selected evidence
Model evaluation, inference and retrieval systems.
Published research and professional case studies, with the contribution, outcome and limits of each piece of work made explicit.
01Multimodal retrieval
View all six projects ↗Multimodal search and recommendation: from image to production pipeline
Task-specific model selection and production implementation of an incremental text-image pipeline, with monitoring and load testing.
Production pipeline in the context of AB Tasty Commerce.↗02Behavioral modelingPredictive segmentation: why website transfer changed the decision
Predictive signal on known sites; insufficient transfer to another site led to stopping before productionization.
Feasibility study stopped before productionization.↗03Ranking personalizationPersonalizing search through user affinities
Affinities outperform context alone across offline NDCG, Hit Rate and MRR; online uplift remains to be measured.
Professional prototype evaluated offline.↗02 — One throughline
Behavior → AI → Product → Impact.
One line of reasoning connects my projects: start with a product question, choose useful signals, build a model and make its output understandable.

03 — ML products at AB Tasty
From research protocol to deployed system.
Five case studies show how I helped turn hypotheses into products and innovations across segmentation, search, recommendation and AI-assisted UX.
