AI Consulting - Transform your business with AI

Vuk - Gen AI Engineer / Senior Software Engineer

About Me

My background spans a wide range of technologies, with a particular emphasis on Generative AI applications. I have extensive experience with LangChain, OpenAI APIs, and various AI models including Claude and Mistral. I've developed complex RAG pipelines, chatbots, and AI-powered applications using technologies such as Vector databases, NextJS, and Python. In fact, I've spent so much time working with AI that my family sometimes wonders if I'm secretly training an AI to replace me at family dinners.

Recent Work Highlights

• Developing AI-powered applications using LangChain, OpenAI APIs, and function calling (without calling in sick, I might add)
• Creating intelligent agent systems with crewAI (they're like the Avengers, but for data)
• Implementing RAG pipelines for efficient information retrieval and generation (because who doesn't love a good RAG-to-riches story?)
• Building chatbots with advanced natural language processing capabilities (they're so lifelike, I sometimes find myself saying "please" and "thank you")
• Developing image generation applications using Midjourney and Stable Diffusion (turning "stable diffusion" from a physics concept into an art form)

Skills

• AI/ML: LangChain, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic Claude API, Mistral, crewAI, RAG pipelines
• Languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Solidity
