About petar
I lead a team building AI-powered retrieval systems in the legal space, with 12+ years at Skadden LLP. I work with open-source LLMs via Hugging Face and PyTorch, alongside hosted LLM APIs such as OpenAI and Anthropic. On the technical side, I focus on agentic retrieval using hybrid search that combines BM25 with vector similarity and rerankers over multi-modal, late-interaction embeddings. I design and implement the full stack, from GPU and API provisioning and cloud LLM environments through search engine architecture to frontend interfaces that make sense to lawyers and business users.
