Hi there! I'm Ioannis (Yannis) Vasilopoulos. I specialize in Edge Computing and AI technologies and solutions. Currently, I work as an AI/ML Engineer at the Siemens HQ of the Production Machines Application Center in Prague. I am responsible for implementing AI customer projects and pre-sales consulting as well. My expertise spans various technologies, including software development, machine learning, Docker, REST APIs, and industrial communication. Passionate about sharing my knowledge, I have offered numerous workshops and presentations at industry events, while fostering strong relationships with stakeholders in R&D, marketing, and product management. I am dedicated to helping businesses unlock the full potential of edge computing and AI technologies to drive efficiency and growth.
