Most valuable when AI and engineering create measurable results: products on a predictable cadence, teams that adopt AI in how they work, platforms enterprises trust, and organizations that scale AI without losing control of security and quality.
Led AI product strategy for a manufacturing AI company serving clients across six countries — production planning and optimization that enterprises run in production.
Owned the full product lifecycle: turning complex AI — planning, optimization, MES/MOM integrations — into tools operators and planners use every day.
Cut release cadence to bi-weekly production while embedding AI tools across ideation, specification, implementation, testing, and deployment.
Stayed close to codebase and architecture as CTO/CPO — platform design spanning MES/MOM, planning APIs, and Azure delivery.
As CISO, drove ISO 27001 certification and ongoing compliance; practical responsible AI, privacy, and AI-system security awareness.
Architected and shipped a high-performance anomaly-detection system and APIs for Bloomberg LP — large-scale market data under production pressure.
I connect AI strategy with the people and systems that make it real — model and agent design, product decisions, architecture, security, team capability, and executive alignment. Hands-on enough to keep judgment sharp; accountable enough to own company-level outcomes.
Strategy without contact with the system becomes theater. Ideal mix: substantial executive ownership with regular technical contribution.
AI is a change in how products are specified, built, tested, and operated — not a tooling upgrade. I coach teams through that shift.
Most useful where AI must earn trust: manufacturing, regulated data, security-conscious environments, and products that survive real operations.
A successful PoC that never ships is a cost center. Design for production from day one.
Upskill product, engineering, and leadership so AI decisions are shared and durable.
Security, privacy, and responsible AI earn the right to move fast — they should not stall progress.
Prefer understandable agent workflows, clear APIs, and maintainable platforms.
Interested in environments where AI and product improvements have visible business impact. Prefer long-term ownership, C-level alignment, and teams willing to change how they build — not just add tools. Full-time roles and B2B / contract engagements are both welcome when the fit is strong.
Path spans e-banking infrastructure, leasing ERP, large-scale market-data analytics for Bloomberg, and AI-powered manufacturing platforms — shipping hard systems, scaling teams, owning product and technical outcomes.
AI product strategy and platform leadership for manufacturing production planning and optimization. Shipped to enterprises across Central and Southeast Europe. Built teams, owned architecture (MES/MOM, planning, APIs, Azure), accelerated delivery with AI-in-the-loop development, and led ISO 27001 as CISO.
Built and delivered a high-performance anomaly-detection system and APIs for Bloomberg LP; hands-on technical leadership on client-facing analytics and international data/API integrations.
Scaled engineering from 2 to 15; designed and shipped a leasing ERP suite from research through market deployment; established iterative, high-performance delivery culture.
Core e-banking modules and APIs; introduced stronger deployment and security awareness; ISO 9001 internal auditor.

This page tells the broader story. A concise PDF is better for ATS systems, internal sharing, and hiring managers who want a printable overview. Machine-readable CV: viktor-cv.md.
Especially interested where AI matters to the business but capability is still uneven — unclear ownership, pilots that do not scale, product and engineering out of sync, or governance that is missing or blocking progress. Reach out for full-time leadership conversations or B2B / contract work.
