Building something exciting! B2B Gen AI.

Redmond, Washington, US

• Lead engineer and inventor of a state‑of‑the‑art NLP unsupervised learning system leveraging PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, Nvidia RAPIDS, and Dask, that automatically analyses and processes hundreds of millions.
• Developed generative NLP models and integrated them with foundational models like GPT‑3, enabling a more robust and versatile system.
• Improved performance by over 90% through optimizing models for production workload using ONNX and other methods, and employed advanced Docker techniques along with Conda/Micromamba to reduce build pipeline time by over.
• Created novel, information‑theoretic methods for testing unsupervised learning systems and generative models, leading to more accurate and reliable AI systems.
• Accelerated a high complexity, NP‑hard algorithm through distributed GPU matrix computation, achieving a 10,000x performance improvement over the original sequential Python code.
• Collaborated with engineering to scale the project to production using Azure ML, Docker, Kubernetes, and Redis.

Redmond, Washington, US

• NLFast: Invented, developed, and deployed NLFast, a cutting‑edge NLP system that detects product issues from customer feedback, faster and more reliably than all previous Microsoft processes (within 6 months of joining).
• Drove adoption of NLFast, now Microsoft’s primary issue detection system, analyzing >40 million text items/year and detecting severe issues within minutes.
• Successfully integrated NLFast into company‑wide infrastructure, leading four Senior Applied Scientists and Engineers.
• Presented NLFast to over 250 data science professionals from the Analytics Institute of Ireland.
• Achieved two national awards:
• Best Implementation of AI Award (Analytics Institute of Ireland Fellowship and Industry Awards, 2019).

New York, New York, US

• Engaged with teams across New York and Warsaw to engineer a robust system for automating authentication management.
• Reduced company-wide risk by automating critical processes and removing human error opportunity.
• Increased team efficiency, allowing many FTEs to focus on value-add activities rather than system management.
• Developed across the full stack using C#, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Angular JS and Bootstrap.Full time offer received following internship.

Roma, Roma, IT

• Lead Engineer on a team of five, where we successfully designed and built prototypes of Leonardo Defence systems.
• Developed an automated radar antenna testing system, reducing testing time by over 70% and allowing for faster development.
• Devised and built an innovative dual-purpose embedded system, halving the complexity and cost of the previous system.Comments from the supervisor:"Alex took the initiative in the teamwork and group exercises. He worked.

Redmond, Washington, US

Produced and presented innovative team project to senior management demonstrating the latest Windows Phone OS.Comments from the supervisor:"Very good team working skills and very impressive IT capabilities. Fit in well within his team and decisive amongst group tasks. Very focused throughout the team challenge".- Mr Neal Anderson (Microsoft, 15/07/2011)
