I work the way forward deployment demands: embedded with customer teams — user interviews, shadowing, process analysis on the shop floor — then owning delivery end to end: discovery workshop → business case → PoC → MVP → production. Comfortable with stakeholders up to board level, at SMEs and enterprises alike.

Latest flagship: AI-powered procurement & RFQ platform for a pharma/cosmetics group — 4 legal entities, 3 regulatory frameworks (EU-GMP Annex 11, IFS, ISO 22716). First process analysis to production in 7 months; 15+ AI services live (extraction, classification, semantic matching) with real governance: LLM call logging, prompt versioning, mandatory human sign-off. Foundation first: tens of thousands of emails, specs & quotes consolidated into clean master data — split across on-prem and cloud LLMs.

What sets me apart:
- Skin in the game: I own and operate an on-prem GenAI/RAG cluster in a Berlin datacenter (>€100k invested, 960 GB Blackwell GPU VRAM) — vLLM, Milvus, full local RAG chain, air-gapped. Paired with GDPR-compliant Vertex AI / Azure AI for scale. I can prototype where customers have no infrastructure yet.
- Full stack, literally: from assembling AI servers and Kubernetes networking (100GbE, InfiniBand, NVMe-oF) to application code to the board paper.
- Regulated by default: EU-GMP, IFS, ISO 22716, ISO 27001, GDPR — finance to pharma.
- Leadership on tap: built tech orgs 0→30+ FTE, CTO of a listed fintech, MBA.

Go-to stack: Claude Code (spec-driven workflow, custom MCPs, project-specific agents) · TypeScript first, Python where it wins · LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI · Milvus, pgvector · Next.js, HonoJS · Vercel, Kubernetes · Claude Design, Figma & Mural for workshops and wireframes.

Berlin-based · on-site across DACH/EU (remote preferred) · German native, English fluent.
