                        <p>
                            I am an accomplished technology leader with a Ph.D. in Computational Geometry. 
                            Currently serving as CTO and Director at <a href="https://corpy.co.jp/" target="_blank">Corpy&Co.</a> in Tokyo, Japan, where I lead a team that has grown from 10 to 70 engineers during my tenure.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            During my five and a half years at Corpy, my team and I have successfully delivered over 50 client-facing R&D projects. I specialize in translating complex research into practical applications while managing cross-cultural teams and high-profile client relationships. In parallel, I've led my team to build <a href="https://factory.confide.tech/" target="_blank">CONFIDE</a>, a cutting-edge AIOps application to enable adoption of mission-critical AI in manufacturing environments.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            During the past few years, my interest has naturally shifted to the broad topic of Responsible AI, which covers Explainable AI and Quality-Assurable AI, as well as AI Ethics, AI Safety, and other related fields. My interest was developed initially due to the focus of CONFIDE, however I have come to find personal interest in these areas, as I firmly believe that such issues are critical in today's world where AI is evolving rapidly and there are so many initiatives for its adoption in multiple fields. My opinion is that such adoption must be accompanied by appropriate measures, including ethical concerns, regulation, and legislation.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            My academic background is in Applied Mathematics and Computational Geometry. I find excitement in combining seemingly unrelated fields or ideas to create new solutions to real problems. During my PhD, I contributed to the <a href="http://www.cgal.org/" target="_blank">CGAL</a>, the largest open-source library for computational geometry. The algorithm 
                            developed during my doctoral research is now <a href="https://www.cgal.org/2019/02/25/Hyperbolic_triangulations/" target="_blank">part of the library</a>.

                            CONFIDE is an AIOps platform developed to facilitate the adoption of AI solutions in mission-critical contexts in the manufacturing industry. Composed of multiple modules, CONFIDE offers the tools to manage, annotate, generate, and evaluate the quality of image data (text and tabular data are on the roadmap). Once the data fulfils business requirements, AI models can be trained and compared in order to identify the one that fits best the targets of the company. The model can be evaluated and compared with other models in a transparent manner, with meaningful metrics, directly addressing the main barriers to AI adoption 
                            in manufacturing: the lack of understanding and trust in "black box" AI systems.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            The platform implements rigorous quality assurance methods implemented by leading research institutes in Japan, enabling manufacturing teams to confidently integrate AI into critical processes while maintaining compliance with quality standards. CONFIDE is currently being introduced to major clients and is in the process of adapting to fit their business needs.

                                For those who enjoy mathematical and programming challenges, I recommend 
                                <a href="https://projecteuler.net/" target="_blank">Project Euler</a>, where you can find 
                                a diverse set of problems combining mathematics and programming. It's an excellent 
                                way to develop problem-solving skills and explore interesting mathematical concepts.

                                John Horton Conway's Game of Life demonstrates how complex patterns can emerge from 
                                simple rules. I implemented the Game of Life in JavaScript on a periodic space (flat torus), allowing patterns to wrap around the edges. It's quite interesting!
