The Poland hub acts as an international delivery centre for technology and operations, serving ING entities across Western Europe. I worked within the Global Know Your Customer (GKYC) team — a compliance-critical function responsible for customer due diligence, identity verification, and financial risk assessment.<\/p>\n <p>Working in a compliance environment meant that accuracy, auditability, and regulatory alignment were non-negotiable. Every automation had to be documented, tested against real regulatory requirements, and designed to flag exceptions clearly rather than silently processing bad data. It was in this role that I built the foundations of how I approach production automation today.<\/p>\n <p>Beyond technical delivery, I was also actively involved in promoting automation adoption internally — running training sessions on SAIO (ING’s proprietary RPA platform) and helping colleagues understand how to scope and build their own automation workflows.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;color:#666;margin:8px 0 0;font-style:italic;\"> <\/p>\n<div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:8px;\">\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:1;grid-row:1\/3;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0717-1-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:1;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0725-1-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:2;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0718-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:1;grid-row:3;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0724-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:3;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0729-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <p style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;color:#666;margin:8px 0 0;font-style:italic;\">The headquarters building of ING Hubs Poland located in Katowice, Poland.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"impact-row\">\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">70%<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">processing accuracy on multi-market document pipeline<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">6+<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">Western and Central European markets: LU, NL, FR, BE, PL, SK<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">2yr<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">experience in compliance-critical automation<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"project-block\">\n <div class=\"proj-title\">\n Risk Assessment Classifier \n <span class=\"proj-tag\">ML · CDD<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"proj-desc\">Built, enhanced, and adapted a classifier to estimate organisational risk for financial security, fraud, misappropriation, and identification of harmful or non-compliant entities.

This was a direct result of ArcelorMittal Luxembourg identifying a use case where AI could significantly reduce manual workload — and requesting a specialist from the BCoE to deliver it.<\/p>\n <p>The project required understanding a highly domain-specific sales process, working with historical order data spanning multiple years and product lines, and building a production pipeline that the sales team could rely on daily — without any RPA or AI background on their side.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"project-block\">\n <div class=\"proj-title\">\n AI Client Offer Generation \n <span class=\"proj-tag\">LLM pipeline<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"proj-desc\">Developed an AI-driven solution using Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o) to generate personalised client proposals based on historical orders and new client inquiries.

The Poland hub acts as an international delivery centre for technology and operations, serving ING entities across Western Europe. I worked within the Global Know Your Customer (GKYC) team — a compliance-critical function responsible for customer due diligence, identity verification, and financial risk assessment.<\/p>\n <p>Working in a compliance environment meant that accuracy, auditability, and regulatory alignment were non-negotiable. Every automation had to be documented, tested against real regulatory requirements, and designed to flag exceptions clearly rather than silently processing bad data. It was in this role that I built the foundations of how I approach production automation today.<\/p>\n <p>Beyond technical delivery, I was also actively involved in promoting automation adoption internally — running training sessions on SAIO (ING’s proprietary RPA platform) and helping colleagues understand how to scope and build their own automation workflows.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;color:#666;margin:8px 0 0;font-style:italic;\"> <\/p>\n<div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:8px;\">\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:1;grid-row:1\/3;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0717-1-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:1;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0725-1-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:2;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0718-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:1;grid-row:3;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0724-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <figure style=\"margin:0;grid-column:2;grid-row:3;aspect-ratio:1\/1;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0729-768x1024.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <p style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;color:#666;margin:8px 0 0;font-style:italic;\">The headquarters building of ING Hubs Poland located in Katowice, Poland.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"impact-row\">\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">70%<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">processing accuracy on multi-market document pipeline<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">6+<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">Western and Central European markets: LU, NL, FR, BE, PL, SK<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"impact-card\">\n <div class=\"ic-num\">2yr<\/div>\n <div class=\"ic-label\">experience in compliance-critical automation<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"project-block\">\n <div class=\"proj-title\">\n Risk Assessment Classifier \n <span class=\"proj-tag\">ML · CDD<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"proj-desc\">Built, enhanced, and adapted a classifier to estimate organisational risk for financial security, fraud, misappropriation, and identification of harmful or non-compliant entities.

Required reverse-engineering undocumented business logic embedded in years of macro code, rewriting in maintainable Python, and integrating with modern CI\/CD pipelines — while preserving identical output for downstream stakeholders.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div style=\"margin:1rem 0 0;\">\n <figure style=\"margin:0;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/autoinstalator\/serwer402453.lh.pl\/wordpress143401\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0715-2-edited-scaled.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:cover;display:block;\" alt=\"ArcelorMittal Park in Sosnowiec\"\/>\n <\/figure>\n <p style=\"font-size:13px;text-align:center;color:#666;margin:8px 0 0;font-style:italic;\">ArcelorMittal Park in Sosnowiec, Poland.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"skills-inline\">\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Python<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Automation Anywhere A360<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Azure OpenAI<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Azure Document Intelligence<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">LangChain<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">SAP GUI Scripting<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Pandas<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Jenkins CI\/CD<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Git<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">REST APIs<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">SQL<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Pydantic<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"tl-entry\">\n <div class=\"tl-dot secondary\"><\/div>\n <div class=\"tl-header\">\n <div class=\"tl-company\">ArcelorMittal Luxembourg Downstream Solutions S.A.<\/div>\n <div class=\"tl-role\">RPA and AI Developer — Specialist (Secondment)<\/div>\n <div class=\"tl-period\">\n\n March 2024 — July 2024\n \n <span class=\"tl-badge orange\">Secondment · Full-time · Remote<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"tl-body\">\n <p>A four-month full-time secondment to ArcelorMittal’s Luxembourg downstream operations, working remotely as an embedded AI developer within the local sales and operations team. This was a direct result of ArcelorMittal Luxembourg identifying a use case where AI could significantly reduce manual workload — and requesting a specialist from the BCoE to deliver it.<\/p>\n <p>The project required understanding a highly domain-specific sales process, working with historical order data spanning multiple years and product lines, and building a production pipeline that the sales team could rely on daily — without any RPA or AI background on their side.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"project-block\">\n <div class=\"proj-title\">\n AI Client Offer Generation \n <span class=\"proj-tag\">LLM pipeline<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"proj-desc\">Developed an AI-driven solution using Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o) to generate personalised client proposals based on historical orders and new client inquiries. The pipeline retrieves relevant order history via REST API, constructs a structured prompt, runs LLM inference, validates the output with Pydantic, and automatically dispatches a personalised email response. Achieved approximately 60% accuracy end-to-end, significantly reducing the workload of the sales team and accelerating response times.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"skills-inline\">\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o)<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">LangChain<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Prompt engineering<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">REST API<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Pydantic<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Python<\/span>\n <span class=\"skill-pill\">Microsoft Graph API<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n\n <div class=\"section-header\">\n <h2>What connects both roles<\/h2>\n <div class=\"sh-line\"><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"body\">Across both employers the underlying challenge has been the same: complex, high-stakes business processes that need to run reliably without constant human supervision. At ING that meant compliance-critical identity verification across four countries. At ArcelorMittal it means financial forecasting, HR operations, and AI-driven sales workflows serving teams across three continents.<\/p>\n <p class=\"body\">In both environments I have had to earn the trust of business stakeholders who are not technical — by delivering on time, documenting everything, and building exception handling that flags problems clearly instead of hiding them. That discipline, more than any specific technology, is what I carry from role to role.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"footer-note\">\n <span>konrad.chmielinski@outlook.com<\/span>\n <span>linkedin.com\/in\/konrad-chmielinski<\/span>\n <span>Open to remote · Full-time \/ B2B<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work Experience — Konrad Chmielinski Konrad Chmielinski · Career Overview 5+ years building enterprise automation and AI solutions across global manufacturing, banking, and steel industry environments.
