Zurich-based technology leader with 15+ years in software engineering, architecture and product development, most recently CTO at Orderfox. I combine hands-on Agentic AI delivery with tech strategy, engineering leadership and AI transformation. I enjoy building teams and getting things shipped.
Skills
AI / GenAI Architecture & Agentic Workflows
Deep expertise in designing and shipping complex, real-time multi-agent systems, including RAG pipelines, LangGraph, MCP, knowledge graphs, and agentic workflows using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and both commercial and open-source LLMs.
Software & Cloud Architecture
Extensive experience architecting and delivering scalable cloud-native platforms on Azure, including .NET Core, microservices, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and DORA metrics-driven delivery.
Engineering Leadership & Technical Governance
Proven track record of leading and scaling cross-functional engineering teams, establishing technical governance, mentoring senior engineers, and driving product and technology strategy at board level.
Product Discovery & Delivery
Experience owning the full product lifecycle from discovery and strategy through to architecture and delivery, using product discovery to guide user experience and align roadmaps with commercial priorities.
Reliability, Observability & DORA
Hands-on implementation of evaluation, analytics, and observability systems, including agent-reviewing-agent frameworks and DORA metrics via Sleuth to sustain high-performing delivery.
Web Scraping & Data Integration
Experience leading data-platform teams delivering integrations and reporting pipelines, including environmental controls, building automation, and consolidating data across teams.
Azure, .NET & CI/CD
Practical expertise with Azure services including Azure Data Factory, Azure DevOps, Azure AI Search, and Azure OpenAI, combined with .NET Core and ASP.NET Core development and CI/CD pipeline establishment.
AI-Assisted Development & Workflow Automation
Increased team output through AI-assisted development, automated code reviews, and workflow automation, enabling release cadences of twice weekly from smaller engineering teams.

Projekthistorie
Rebuilt the application, UI and data infrastructure in six months using product discovery to guide the user experience. Increased output through AI-assisted development, automated code reviews and workflow automation, moving releases to twice weekly. Designed and shipped complex, real-time multi-agent systems for research, reporting and search over proprietary industrial data. Built evaluation, analytics and observability systems with agents reviewing agents to detect failures and improve quality. AI stack: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, RAG, LangGraph, MCP, knowledge graphs, agentic workflows, commercial and open-source LLMs.
Set board-level product, technology and operational strategy, unifying product and engineering under one direction. Led AI transformation, delivering LLM-powered magic moments in customer products and automating internal operations. Oversaw architecture, security and infrastructure while mentoring senior product and engineering leaders. Aligned roadmap, vendor choices and platform scale with commercial and go-to-market priorities.
Rebuilt the PHP monolith as a modern .NET Core platform on Azure. Established CI/CD, automated testing, clean architecture and observability; used DORA metrics through Sleuth to sustain high-performing delivery. Scaled engineering from one to two cross-functional squads and introduced structured hiring and coaching.
