Razvan Stefan Tecuceanu

Răzvan Ștefan Tecuceanu
President of the
Association for the
Digitization of Urbanism

Răzvan Ștefan Tecuceanu

A Summa cum Laude graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science in Germany, Răzvan has over 19 years of experience in projects in the field of computer science, as a programmer, system architect, AI expert and IT team coordinator, project manager and C.E.O. Răzvan considers himself a pioneer towards Artificial Intelligence, even though he has been working in AI projects for several years. Răzvan founded ADU, the Association for the Digitization of Urbanism, an organization that aims to support courses and educational events on AI, robotics and digitization so that everyone understands them. Răzvan also founded MeetPlace GmbH, a company that uses artificial intelligence to work in the field of automation, digitization and electronic archiving of documents.

He likes very much to question all the structures created by us humans and to predict the evolution of these entities in the future. For him, the true mysteries of nature are the human mind and the universe. But in order for the human spirit to continue to exist, we must pay more attention to our planet. That is why Razvan always considers the ecosystem of our planet to be involved when it comes to launching new products or replacing existing ones.

 

When he talks about his work we often hear Razvan say:“ I create magic using Artificial Intelligence and I’m making papers disappear, playing with digitalization.“

 

Absolvent al Summa cum Laude al Facultății de Matematică și Informatică din Germania, Răzvan are peste 19 ani de experiență în proiecte în domeniul informaticii, ca programator, arhitect de sistem, expert AI și coordonator echipă IT, manager de proiect și C.E.O. Răzvan se consideră un pionier al inteligenței artificiale, chiar dacă lucrează în proiecte de AI de câțiva ani. Răzvan a înființat ADU, Asociația de Digitalizare a Urbanismului, o organizație care își propune să susțină cursuri și evenimente educaționale despre AI, robotică și digitalizare, astfel încât toată lumea să le înțeleagă. Răzvan a mai fondat MeetPlace GmbH, o companie care folosește inteligența artificială pentru a lucra în domeniul automatizării, digitalizării și arhivării electronice a documentelor.

 

Îi place foarte mult să pună la îndoială toate structurile create de noi oamenii și să prezică evoluția acestor entități în viitor. Pentru el, adevăratele mistere ale naturii sunt mintea umană și universul. Dar pentru ca spiritul uman să existe în continuare, trebuie să acordăm mai multă atenție planetei noastre. De aceea, Razvan consideră întotdeauna că ecosistemul planetei noastre este implicat atunci când vine vorba de lansarea de noi produse sau de înlocuirea celor existente.

Când vorbește despre munca sa, îl auzim adesea pe Razvan spunând: „Creez magie folosind inteligența artificială și fac să dispară hârtiile, jucându-mă cu digitalizarea.”
