HANIA JARLACZYŃSKA

AI ENGINEER

Welcome

Hey! I'm Hania Jarlaczyńska, an AI Engineer. I've been in the AI space for the past 6 years, moving through different roles: from research, through strong client-facing work, to productizing AI solutions at the scale of millions of products. I also enjoy talking about it at conferences.

When I'm not in front of a computer, I run, cycle, and train gymnastics.

Collaboration? Let's get in touch.
