Artium

Artium is a next-generation software consultancy that combines a transformative software development philosophy with artificial intelligence. Their mission is to build, collaborate, and empower clients through innovative technology solutions. I joined Artium in June 2022 while seeking my next client at Dev3loper.ai, transitioning from independent consulting to becoming a part of a team of like-minded engineers who prioritize Extreme Programming (XP) practices and AI integration in software development.

As a Staff Engineer at Artium, my role involves leading teams, mentoring engineers, and deeply engaging with both the technical and domain aspects of each project. I am a polyglot programmer, adept at navigating various programming languages and frameworks, and my primary goal is to deliver products that delight customers while meeting business needs.

During my tenure at Artium, I have successfully delivered on six client projects across different industries, including financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, and electric vehicle solutions. My engagements with BNY Mellon, Ticketmaster, Tovuti, Arrive Health, The Arrive Platform, and FlexCharging showcase my ability to seamlessly integrate into diverse environments and consistently exceed client expectations.
