Experience
iCardio.ai
Head of Engineering
  • Built and led the engineering team; owned system architecture and code review while staying hands-on in technical design and implementation.
  • Ran the full ML lifecycle — data collection and storage, label acquisition and vetting, model training, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Built Encephalon, a HIPAA-compliant customer-facing API serving 20+ models through an async workflow (study creation, DICOM upload, scan start), with models continuously updated, replaced, and re-pipelined.
  • Led AI-PACS, an AI-first PACS serving our own models alongside an embedded Vertex AI assistant to accelerate echo reads.
OlehPay
CTO
  • Led the team building a live, customer-facing US–Israel remittance platform used by thousands of users monthly, integrated directly with third-party banking systems.
  • Rebuilt the platform three times since inception; entrusted with customers' personal data and money, made security and trust the highest priority.
Airplant Gardens
Co-founder
  • Built the full ecommerce platform in-house — storefront, subscriptions, billing, and fulfilment — plus a sponsorship partner portal for tracking sponsor leads. Acquired in 2020.
OceanPads
Co-founder
  • Built a real-estate platform for Miami on heavy GeoJSON data, mapping the city's dense high-rise condo market with a clarity that generic listing apps lacked.
