About

Pre-Sales meets Engineering meets AI.

After 6+ years at Dassault Systèmes — architecting and selling APS solutions across Pharma, Automotive, Aerospace, and more — I took a sabbatical to travel 22 countries, then came back to build independently.

Now I work as a freelance consultant under Flowka Lab — my brand for navigating the AI wave in supply chain. Building ML forecasting engines, procurement agents, and AI-powered planning tools.

☁️ Currently working towards AWS Certification
