Data Transformation Advisory Board member.

Liftago is an uber-like app with an auction twist. The need for advanced algo, ML & AI, led Liftago to form the Data Advisory Board, navigating Liftago through one of the most exciting transformations in the logistic market. It all ended up splitting the company in two - OG taxi service on one side and pure logistic solution on the other.

My role was to help the CEO, head of BI, and data science team implement various AI techniques to improve their key metrics.

Emergency ventilation device

In record breaking time and pace, a group of dedicated volunteers put together a world-class emergency ventilation design. I ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to get resources for manufacturing.

The Project failed in the final stage due to a lack of commitment from academic and political partners.

Still, one of the most meaningful projects I have ever worked on.

Augmented Analytics Engine

We built an AI engine to commoditize and automate decision making. Our easy to use cloud app was good at identifying what's important in the business of the company and was ready to track the success levels of the decisions taken by company's managers.

We were selling the part of this solution called the Augmented Analytics Engine.

Gartner selected us as the Cool Vendor in the Analytics area and showcased us as an example of where the whole field of Business Intelligence is heading. This moment led to the sale of the company to Workday, Inc.
