AI Product Developer, Hybrid Edge AI
Dell TechnologiesMay 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 1 moBucharest, Romania & Remote
I initiated a Product R&D workstream and lead a 35-item Applied AI intellectual property portfolio focused on Hybrid Edge AI. In this role, I collaborate with 10 inventors and multiple legal teams to identify and protect novel AI product concepts and capabilities that extend Dell's existing offerings. In parallel, I serve as a core engineering contributor to on-device AI services for Dell AI PCs. My hands-on work spans Hybrid Edge AI, On-device AI, and Agentic AI, with a focus on Applied AI rather than model training.
Key responsibilities
- Author PRDs for 35 differentiated AI product concepts across multiple domains — Security, Privacy, Resilience, Efficiency, Accessibility, Personalization, Digital Wellness, Automation, Agent-Native SDLC etc.
- Define product and patent strategies aligned with business objectives, along with end-to-end solution architectures enabling independent engineering execution.
- Identify underserved technological whitespace by analyzing AI limitations across on-device, cloud, and hybrid deployments, latent user needs, and the competitive landscape.
- Represent the development team in discussions with senior leaders from Dell's Software Engineering and CTO organizations and external partners.
- Design, develop, and deploy on-device inference pipelines across heterogeneous hardware, and serve as primary software developer for six on-device SLM services and two ASR services powering privacy-first conversational AI for Dell AI PCs.
Notable Outcomes
- Built the intellectual property portfolio from zero, securing more than $750K in funding.
- Filed 13 USPTO patents (10 as first inventor), with 22 additional filings in development as first inventor.
- Delivered AI services that ship to all Dell AI PC customers and are used or referenced internally by teams building Hybrid Edge AI products and patents.
