Sheet 05 — about
Oleg Żero
Independent AI consultant · hands-on engineer · passion for CAD
I'm a tech entrepreneur with 15 years of applied, interdisciplinary R&D behind me — an enthusiast of practical problem-solving in a business context. I'm good at getting people moving forward, even when the objectives are incomplete and the work is highly exploratory.
My background is AI/ML, not CAD by training — and that's the point. Since 2024 I've deliberately specialised in CAD and geometry, a space where the AI world and the CAD world still speak different languages. I've shipped production ML across aviation, medicine, e-commerce and forestry; now I bring that depth to drawings, meshes and fabrication.
Alongside client work I train engineers — including at Eskadra Bielika — and publish peer-reviewed research.
