01About

Senior engineer with ten years building production systems for regulated industries. At Pdftools I own the AI enablement platform, shipping Smart Redact (AI-based removal of personally identifiable information) and an OCR service for 180+ languages. Before that, I architected the Grand Solver at Swiss International Air Lines, a real-time cost-optimization system for Lufthansa Group flight operations.

Liftory

2025 → present

An AI product I own end to end. Fitness tracking with an agentic GenAI chat worker. More than 100 registered users.

  • Founder and sole owner. Took the product from idea to Proof of Concept to a live app on the App Store and Google Play with more than 100 registered users, owning the roadmap, the release cadence, and adoption. Shipped an Ionic and Angular mobile app, native watchOS (Swift) and Wear OS (Kotlin and Jetpack Compose) companions with bidirectional phone-to-watch sync, a Next.js marketing site at liftory.ch, and a .NET 10 backend on PostgreSQL.
  • Built an agentic AI worker on the Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) that designs personalized training plans through multi-turn conversations, calling domain tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and grounding its answers with RAG over a curated fitness corpus. Orchestration is model-agnostic, with typed, schema-constrained tool calls. Applies the automated planning, reasoning, and NLP from my MSc in Artificial Intelligence.
