AI Data Engineer · Machine Learning Engineer

Hi, I'm Ajdin.
I think in data.

Eight years across software, data and AI — LLM document processing, production pipelines, and the validation that makes both trustworthy. Currently at Hypatos.

How I got here.

Eight years across web dev, QA, data engineering, and now AI. Each stop taught me something the next one needed — QA made me distrust unvalidated data, warehousing taught me pipelines fail at 3 a.m., and LLM work showed me the model is only as good as the context around it.

At Hypatos I turn contracts, invoices and scanned forms into structured data. On the side, I freelance and study financial engineering. Since 2022 I've also taught programming to kids aged 6 to 18.
