Kriptos is a company accelerated by TechStars Tel Aviv and Barclays Bank. Its primary goal is to prevent data leakage by identifying confidential documents with artificial intelligence.

My main achievements include:
Lead the development of lightweight, low-power artificial intelligence that can run on local machines, protecting data and with no option for models to be replicated or stolen in a budget.
Lead the development of a continuous data feedback system to ensure continuous model learning.

My responsibilities directing the AI team are:
Lead experimentation processes to ensure performance and resource optimization in deployment.
Ensure security, scalability, and flexibility in every aspect of AI as a service.
Guarantee AI responsibility through the explainability and coherence of every model.
Supervise the generalization of models by checking the loss curves in training and testing sets.
Automate all the possible processes, including retraining.
Guide the integration of machine learning supervised NLP models with apps. These models should work as a brain capable of executing actions and taking decisions within an app in every OS.
