I’ve recently joined Vooban as a Team Lead – AI Agents

I’m starting a new chapter focused on designing and delivering agent-based and multi-agent AI solutions applied to real business use cases.

My role is about bridging business needs with technical implementation, supporting a development team, and collaborating with stakeholders to build solutions that are useful, robust, and grounded in real operational needs.

I’m especially excited about the shift from generative AI tools toward more autonomous systems capable of orchestrating workflows and interacting intelligently with their environment.
