Open to AI roles in Zürich, full-time or part-time

I build AI systems that solve business problems.

Three years building with AI: first inside a large consultancy, now for my own clients. Before that, years on the business side, which is why I start from the problem and not from the model.

MSc Civil Engineering, eMBA, three years deep in AI. I design the solution and build it end to end, from the business need to the thing running in production.

About

From business need to full production. Listen, understand, build.

At NTT DATA I ran enterprise AI delivery: an agentic system that summarises clinical files for second medical opinions, and an AI automation solution for customer service support at a logistics operator. Since April 2026 I have been building solutions for my own clients from Zürich: knowledge graphs over contract bases, regulatory radars, SAP-integrated automations, among other things.

What I like is owning a project end to end: working side by side with the business people who will actually use it, agreeing on what good looks like, and delivering something that gets adopted and moves a number. A system nobody uses is not a solution, however good the model behind it is.

Business need
Listen
Sit with the people who have the problem, not with the org chart.
Understand
Map the process, the data and the constraints before choosing any tool.
Build
Architecture, code and the integration into the systems already in use.

What I have done.

2026-now
Independent AI Engineer
Self-employed · Zürich

Two in production: SAP-integrated bill of materials, generated straight from the client order, for a custom joinery manufacturer. And a contract management platform, a Karpathy-style wiki with AI at its core, for a large Colombian logistics group.

One large build in progress: Automated test reporting for one of the top national engineering firms in the United States.

Smaller work: Regulatory radars and other legal-tech AI solutions.

2025-2026
Project Leader
NTT DATA
Several projects in parallel, all with AI automation at their core.

Biggest result: +40% productivity across a team of 175 customer service agents at a logistics operator.

Also delivered: A €150k agentic-AI project leading a team of four, and a €170k technology transformation shipped in six months.

Ownership: Full commercial, risk and contractual responsibility on every engagement.

Senior Consultant

Led a team of two, recruiting high-profile engineers across sectors. The work was understanding each business and turning what a stakeholder says into actual requirements. It is the same skill I use now to scope an AI system.
