Serial entrepreneur & AI researcher
Andrei Ionuț
Damian.
I lead Ratio1.ai, teach Data Science with Deep Learning, and evaluate ICT research projects.
I founded Lummetry.AI, acquired by Abris-backed GTS in 2021. Today, I’m building decentralized AI infrastructure at Ratio1, drawing on years of work in computer vision, predictive analytics, and software entrepreneurship.
01 / Current work
Research meets practice.
Senior Lecturer
University Politehnica of Bucharest
I teach Data Science with Deep Learning to master’s students, bringing research and experience building AI products into the classroom.
Expert evaluator
European & regional research programmes
Technical and scientific evaluation of ICT projects and proposals, including AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and IoT. Over 20 evaluation sessions between 2004 and 2026.
02 / Entrepreneurship
Companies I’ve built.
Founder &
Chief Data Scientist
Lummetry.AI
I built Lummetry.AI around applied AI research, with products for video analytics, forecasting, and text analysis. The Lummetry brand launched in 2018, growing out of Knowledge Investment Group.
In September 2021, Lummetry.AI was acquired by GTS Global Intelligence, part of Global Technical Group and backed by Abris Capital Partners. The acquisition closed on 15 September; I continued my work at Lummetry through 2025.
Founder &
Chief Data Scientist
Cloudifier
Deep learning, artificial-scene analysis, and GPU-enabled AI environments. This work also led to research on computer vision for artificial images, including CloudifierNet.
Founder
GoDrive & Venture Capital Hub
I founded GoDrive (2013–2015), working on automotive embedded AI and precision manufacturing, and Venture Capital Hub (2015–2017), a consultancy for technology startups and venture development.
Founder & CEO
4E Software & Knowledge Investment Group
My earlier software ventures focused on enterprise applications, expert systems, and product development. Knowledge Investment Group later became the business behind Lummetry.AI.
Open-source project
