Top SchoolKrzysztof Sopyla is an AI R&D manager and Ph.D.-trained NLP researcher with 17 years of experience building production-grade language systems, from research prototyping to cost-conscious deployment.

A co-founder of the Polish ML Community and Bored Founders Club, he blends product-building, consulting, and technical leadership with a knack for turning complex NLP research (custom Transformer training, NER, machine translation, and grammatical error correction) into pragmatic, deployed solutions.
