Nazar Babii

I am an experienced and innovative engineer from Lviv, Ukraine, specializing in AI/ML, full-stack development, and blockchain. With a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Lviv University of Technology, I bring a unique blend of software and hardware expertise to the table, developed through extensive experience in diverse industries such as defense, fintech, and IoT across Europe.

Currently, I work as a machine learning engineer at Strative, where I focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system development, enhancing AI model accuracy and reliability. In previous roles, including my position as an AI Engineer at Alta Ares, I successfully optimized AI models for constrained environments, such as drones, by converting PyTorch-trained YOLOv8 models to TensorFlow Lite, achieving a balance between detection accuracy and performance on low-power devices. Additionally, my work at Conrad Consult & Engineering as an embedded engineer and full-stack developer involves designing and implementing complex hardware-software solutions in embedded systems. Here, my skill in customizing FPGA firmware, particularly for GSM-R testing, has been critical in meeting unique client needs.

In blockchain, my projects span from developing smart contracts to building AI-driven fintech applications. For instance, I have integrated major trading platforms like MT4 and TradingView, automating decision-making based on real-time financial data to optimize user trading outcomes. This work has been complemented by my frontend and backend expertise in projects like Crypto Bank and content platforms such as Liox.io, where I ensured robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure. My experience in Solidity and Rust allows me to implement efficient, decentralized financial solutions.

Skilled in various programming languages and frameworks, including React, Next.js, Solidity, and TensorFlow, I excel in both software development and machine learning deployment. My DevOps capabilities with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes have allowed me to create efficient cloud environments, and my cybersecurity background upholds best practices for secure, resilient applications.

In each project, I emphasize user-centered solutions powered by cutting-edge AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies. My ability to integrate AI and hardware, such as using TensorFlow Lite for mobile applications, adds a unique dimension to my skill set, enabling the seamless connection between AI and embedded solutions. Known for managing complex projects and leveraging innovative technologies, I’m committed to delivering practical, accessible solutions that address real-world challenges, whether through real-time data analytics, blockchain-based financial services, or intelligent IoT applications. This approach makes me a valuable asset in today’s tech landscape, driven by both technical excellence and user-focused innovation.
