In 2013, I founded the intelligent computer vision (iCV) research lab (now called 3S Holding), thereby establishing the preeminent centre in the Baltic States dedicated to computer vision and applied machine learning. As the Chief Data Scientist and Director of AI at PwC, I am presently in charge of initiatives pertaining to the Metaverse and Analytics, showcasing my extensive knowledge of data science and AI technologies.
By co-founding Estonia's first Responsible AI startup, iVCV, and its first generative AI startup, Alpha3D, I have demonstrated my entrepreneurial spirit. My position as an early-stage angel investor signifies my dedication to fostering groundbreaking concepts in the field of technology.
I possess extensive technical expertise in numerous fields, such as computer vision, human-robot interaction, NLP, 3D modelling, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and most notably, Python, Keras, and TensorFlow programming. My adeptness in utilising the OpenAI and LLM APIs demonstrates my progressive mindset towards nascent AI technologies.
I have led teams to success on numerous research and development projects on behalf of industry titans including Rakuten, VERIFF, and LHV Bank, among others. I am a distinguished member of the academic community, having served as the Chair of the IEEE Estonian section's Joint Societies Chapter and an IEEE Senior member.
