01 / Work

From software to the physical world.

I build and scale systems where software meets real-world operations: from fleets and freight to autonomous drones and AI factories.

Hydra Host

AI Factory Deployments

Present · AI infrastructure

I build and scale the supply side of AI infrastructure.

At Hydra Host, I help bring purpose-built data centers and large-scale GPU clusters online. I coordinate launches of new AI Factories, from cluster design through facility build, hardware installation, and deployment. That means working across physical infrastructure, including power, cooling, and networking.

Hardware + software · Prototype to operational MVP

I accelerated product development from prototype to a fully operational MVP, across hardware and software.

  • Launched successful initial demos and reached sales negotiations with top-100 EU industrial companies.
  • Coordinated test flights from an active airfield, with air-clearance approvals from commercial and military traffic controllers.
  • Ran live, fully remote drone-mission demos from the office for clients across the globe.
