I build and explain cloud, data, and AI systems.

I work on cloud, data, and AI systems, mostly where ideas need to become something teams can actually run.

Turning ideas into systems people can understand and use

I like working on the messy middle: when an idea sounds promising, but the team still has to figure out the data, architecture, security, cost, user workflow, and actual delivery path.

Cloud and AI architecture

I help teams structure Azure and AI solutions so they are understandable, secure, and realistic to operate. The interesting work usually starts after the demo.

Data and machine learning

I have worked across many ML and data science use cases. That breadth helps me connect architecture decisions with the actual data, models, and user workflows behind them.

Products and experiments

I like building small, concrete products and experiments. They are the fastest way to find out which assumptions are solid and which ones only worked on slides.

Projects I worked on over the past years

Agents

Cronosaurus

An experiment around scheduled agent runs, heartbeats, monitoring, and more complex autonomous tasks.

Current work

Current workUpdated May 24, 2026

More recently I have been exploring algorithmic portfolio management: how to structure signals, evaluate strategies, and keep the system explainable instead of turning it into a black box.

Based on 3 exploration notes.

I have also been looking at agentic legal use cases on Swiss legal data, especially how retrieval, reasoning, and citations could support legal research workflows.

Notes, articles, and project updates

Let's talk if this connects with what you are working on

The best conversations usually start with a concrete project, architecture question, workshop idea, or AI use case.
