ABOUT EDVINAS SARKUS

I\'m a seasoned software engineer with a diverse range of experiences spanning over 15 years. My journey has seen me wear multiple hats, from creating engaging mobile applications to pioneering innovative software solutions across various industries. Inspired by authors like Ray Kurzweil and Nick Bostrom, I\'ve closely followed advancements in AI for more than a decade. In recent years, I\'ve delved into studying deep learning methods online, staying ahead of the curve. Currently, I am working on several projects using generative AI to automate various aspects of software engineering. I am also collaborating with the data science team on certain initiatives at Trustpilot. At Zühlke Group, I led an agile team that was at the forefront of innovating customer onboarding journeys for prominent FinTech entities. This role not only honed my leadership skills but also allowed me to dip my toes into the realm of conversational banking, creating a bridge between Siri Voice assistant technology and dynamic data visualizations. My stint with Sky provided a deep dive into cross-platform software development, with a particular emphasis on Apple platforms. With NOW TV, I delved deeper into the world of streaming, working extensively on their iOS applications and optimizing user experiences. At Factory3D, I explored the fascinating world of 3D software design, pushing the boundaries of computational geometry and visualization. My time with Barclays gave me the chance to refine the user experience of \'Pingit\', a trailblazing money transfer app in the UK market. One of my standout experiences was with Atari | On5, where I was instrumental in breathing life into the mobile version of the iconic \'Roller Coaster Tycoon\'. This role demanded a perfect blend of creativity and technical acumen, from devising AI for park visitors to simulating roller coaster physics, 3D path-finding and construction autocompletion algorithms. I\'ve also ventured into the realm of mobile banking with ETRONIKA, developing comprehensive applications for both iOS and Android platforms. With Jumsoft, I catered to the niche of personal finance management, creating intuitive applications for financial planning and tracking. My earlier roles, ranging from game development with Dixiapps to web development at UAB Infotinklas, have laid a strong foundation, allowing me to approach challenges with a unique perspective.
