I am a machine learning and computer vision expert with over 10 years of experience, currently serving as Head of AI at Haxion, where I lead the development of cutting-edge generative AI products. I specialize in Diffusion Models, Large Language Models, and Neural Rendering, with proven expertise in 3D human avatars, computational photography, and synthetic data generation.

At Haxion, I direct a team of 6 engineers developing two products: a controllable image/video generation platform using advanced diffusion models that provides users with precise creative control, and a camera-based 3D editing system that enables natural language interaction with 3D scenes through point clouds and Gaussian splatting technology.

My research background includes pioneering work in facial expression generation using GANs during my PhD, followed by postdoctoral research at ETH Zürich focusing on image synthesis and video editing. I have successfully bridged academic research with practical applications, contributing to open-source projects and organizing major computer vision challenges at top-tier conferences.

kin3o

AI-powered Lottie animation generator CLI. Describe a motion in natural language and get production-ready Lottie JSON or interactive dotLottie state machines. Supports generation, refinement, live preview with hot reload, video export (MP4/WebM/GIF via Puppeteer + FFmpeg), and publishing to the LottieFiles marketplace. Uses Claude or Codex as the AI backend.

Fairtrail

The price trail airlines don't show you. Natural language flight search powered by AI — type "NYC to Tokyo in July under $800" and get a tracked query with price evolution charts, airline breakdowns, and shareable links. Scrapes Google Flights with Playwright, extracts structured data with LLMs, and stores historical price snapshots.

PriceToken

The missing API for LLM pricing. Real-time pricing data scraped from provider pages, extracted with AI, and served via REST API. Includes a Next.js dashboard with cost calculator, model comparison, and price history charts. Distributed as a zero-dependency npm package and Python SDK for offline cost calculation.

gitpane

Multi-repo Git workspace dashboard for the terminal, built in Rust. I got tired of cd-ing into dozens of repos just to check branch status and dirty state — lazygit and gitui are great for single-repo work, but nothing gave a workspace-level overview. gitpane watches all your repos at once with real-time updates, commit graphs, split diffs, and mouse support. Published on crates.io.
