At Roomr I'm heading mostly our AI R&D to take interior design to the next level.At Speech Graphics, I led (and now keeping an eye on) the move to the cloud (XaaS) to elevate AIs from tools to companions, infusing technology with psychology. I was also instrumental in establishing our Budapest office. Quick history : After the university where I wrote defense mechanisms against computer viruses, I spent- 5 years in Tokyo, Japan working for CSK, Microsoft and SEGA (worked on NT, prototyped a Virtual Reality game, wrote simulations for 3 arcade games ).- In 1996 I went to work for Alias|Wavefront in Toronto, Canada, on polygon manipulations / translations in Power Animator and Maya.- In 1998 I started as the first engineer at PlayStation US R&D. Until 2012, I worked as Director of Distributed Technologies that included graphics (COLLADA, PSGL) and a lot of network related technologies (advertising, telemetry, PVRs) for the Playstation2/3/4, PSP and Vita platforms. Platform security was occupying most of my time before I left Sony.- In 2012 I took on new challenges, working with Hong Kong and Taipei directly, introducing SDLC and setting directions.- During my stay in Berlin working as CTO, I designed a secure communication system.- Before joining Speech Graphics, I was working on self driving cars (radar actuations) at Cruise (a GM Company). I am comfortable with both low- and high-level coding for both experimentations and product development, but my expertise lies in setting visions, missions, directions and executing on those with different groups. I also enjoy managing partnerships and connecting with clients. I strongly believe that leading engineers effectively requires a great vision and an attainable product target. I always aim to be familiar with the tools my engineers use, let that be cloud configuration, AI fine tuning, coding in GO or C++, or even embedded RTOS for ARM7. I am also a firm believer of the "a business's business is business..."Specialties: Technical leadership, Research and Development (45 patents), innovations, software development, embedded systems (hardware design, RTOS, MISRA), technical plans and evaluations, working close with project/product management, software security and advocating the importance of human behavior / perception in all UI/UX. I am a citizen of the EU and the USA and a UK Pre-Settled Status holder.
