Bongo Kosa

AI and data systems engineer

Debrecen, Hungary bongokosa@gmail.com LinkedIn GitHub

I build governed AI systems and data pipelines that make decisions traceable, testable and accountable to people.

I work at the intersection of data engineering, governed AI and statistically validated decision systems. At MetaPOS, I build retail data workflows and MetaPOS Mind, a permission-aware context system for people and AI assistants.

My independent work includes OmniMind, a local AI-work control plane, and FXPM, a regime-aware trading research and execution system. I separate implemented controls from measured results, and keep human approval explicit where decisions carry risk.
