WORK HISTORY
Innovation Director @Spherica
Birmingham, GB
As Innovation Director for a tech company with over 50 staff, I steer our innovation strategy, guiding the company toward cutting-edge solutions and market expansion. I established a Research and Development function focused on tackling current challenges with innovative solutions. Under my leadership, we\'ve designed and implemented AWS Connect into Spherica, opening new markets for business growth. Currently, we\'re exploring Generative AI, a field where I\'ve not only led the adoption strategy but also hands-on developed a retrieval-augmented generation API, built on top of technologies such as FastAPI, Docker, GPT-4, Postgresql and Azure PaaS. I am currently in the process of creating an AI-powered web application. This hands-on approach shows my commitment to leading by example, demonstrating the practical application of innovative technologies to drive our business forward.
