After 15 years focused on mobile development, I am excited to announce that I am switching to an AI engineering role, becoming the Principal AI Engineer at Playtomic. The motivation This transition is driven by a few key factors: Personal Interest: I have found a renewed passion in exploring how Large Language Models and generative AI work. It feels like discovering programming all over again. Industry Shift: I believe we are at a pivotal moment in the software industry. The rise of AI is similar to the shift to mobile 15 years ago but with even greater potential to transform the world. It is even more disruptive, fundamentally redefining how we build and interact with software. Opportunity: Even more than the impact, I am inspired by the unprecedented opportunities emerging in this space. The chance to learn, create, and shape the future of AI-driven tools is a challenge I find truly compelling. Innovation Speed: The pace at which this field is evolving is insane. The constant stream of new research and capabilities is a challenge I am eager to tackle. The role In this new position, my key responsibilities will include: Research and investigate: Keeping up with the rapid pace of AI development to identify new opportunities. Train and inspire others: Sharing knowledge and fostering an AI-forward culture within the engineering team. Provide tools: Developing AI-powered utilities to enhance productivity and capabilities. Automate processes: Streamlining workflows and reducing manual effort through intelligent automation. I’m looking forward to this new chapter! Disclaimer: Yes, this is my first officially AI assisted post too
