Last position:
Senior Project Manager AI & Data at Large German energy provider
AI Assistance and Target Vision for Partially Autonomous Energy Portfolio Management
Building an AI control layer directly on the up-to-date daily live portfolio of a large energy provider — not as an isolated pilot, but as an operational extension of the existing DB1 and portfolio management. The goal is the gradual development from assistance through monitoring/alerting to analysis agents with Human-in-the-Loop approvals, supplemented by a role-specific System of Engagement alongside the BI System of Record. At the same time, the business case, target vision and management pitch compared with static monthly reporting are being developed.
- AI control layer: Design and build on the existing live portfolio data product (several million contracts) — development stages assistance → monitoring/alerting → agents with Human-in-the-Loop approvals.
- LLM-supported data analysis: Semantic queries, SQL/tool integration and additional RAG components based on portfolio, plan-versus-actual and data quality data (Azure OpenAI, Snowflake), with drill-downs to individual contract level.
- Analysis agents: Multi-stage agents for variance and driver analyses of churn, price adjustments, volumes and procurement costs.
- Views concept: Role-specific interfaces for business units, management and C-level as a System of Engagement alongside the BI System of Record.
- Business case & pitch: Target vision and cost-benefit argumentation compared with static monthly reporting.
- LLM setup (privacy & security): Coordination with IT Security and Data Protection — EU region, data separation and approval processes.
- Agent architecture: Multi-stage agent pipelines (analysis → validation → summary) with documented data sources, tool calls, review steps and source references for each statement.
- Data foundation: Built on the up-to-date daily DB1 data product (Snowflake, dbt) — portfolio, plan-versus-actual and data quality metrics as the common basis for all AI analyses.
- Guardrails & evaluation: Evaluation and approval processes for LLM responses relating to management-relevant statements — test sets, metrics and human review.
- Prototyping & validation: Iterative validation of agent responses with the business unit — test question catalogue, feedback loops and response quality for each release.
- Roadmap & development stages: Detailed stages from assistance → monitoring/alerting → partially autonomous management, including transition criteria and governance for each stage.
- Integration: Integration into the existing BI and data landscape — BI remains the System of Record, while the AI layer provides interactive drill-down paths as the System of Engagement.
- Enablement: Enablement of business users — prompting guides, training and an operating model for ongoing use.
- Management: Coordination of business units, Data Engineering, IT Security and Data Protection.
- Change Management: Communication and expectation management with business units and management throughout the development stages.
Results:
- Built on an existing up-to-date daily data product with several million contracts
- Established an LLM setup coordinated with Data Protection and IT Security in the EU region, including data separation and approvals
- Defined three development stages through to partially autonomous management
- Designed role-specific views for business units, management and C-level
- Developed the business case and management pitch for the development stages
- Established an iterative response-quality validation process with the business unit
- Designed the operating model for assistance operations and initiated validation
Stack: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Snowflake, dbt, React, TypeScript, Entra ID, RAG, Agentic AI, analysis agents, Human-in-the-Loop, Prompt Engineering, LLM Evaluation, LLMOps, GDPR / EU region, Azure DevOps, Python, SQL, Change Management

About the technology
Unified Generative AI Platform
Azure AI Foundry brings together enterprise AI model evaluation, prompt orchestration, and fine-tuning inside Microsoft Azure. Previously known as Azure AI Studio, the environment unites foundational models from OpenAI, Mistral, and Meta with native cloud security. It allows teams to build generative applications while maintaining strict governance.
Core Ecosystem and Tooling
Projects centered on this platform integrate closely with surrounding cloud and machine learning technologies:
- Azure OpenAI Service deployments and model management
- Prompt flow orchestration and automated evaluation pipelines
- Azure AI Search for enterprise retrieval-augmented generation
- Microsoft Entra ID and private networking for data protection
- Semantic Kernel and LangChain integration frameworks
Practical Enterprise Deliverables
Specialists use the platform to ship end-to-end conversational systems, intelligent document processing pipelines, and agentic workflows. They wire domain data into vector stores, build deterministic safety filters, and deploy inference endpoints. Deliverables routinely include automated regression evaluations that verify model groundedness and avoid hallucination.
When Organizations Need External Expertise
Companies bring in independent professionals when migrating experimental prototypes to secure enterprise environments. Complex setups require custom fine-tuning, automated testing against corporate datasets, and prompt optimization. Freelance support proves vital when internal engineering teams must establish resilient RAG pipelines quickly.
Deployment Realities in Germany
Enterprise organizations across Germany, particularly in automotive, manufacturing, and financial services, face stringent data handling standards. Specialists configure deployments to guarantee that training and inference data stay within local European cloud regions. Collaboration blends focused remote development with critical on-site alignment meetings.
Hallmarks of Strong Practitioners
Top specialists combine deep cloud infrastructure knowledge with rigorous prompt design and machine learning practices. They understand latency optimization, token budgeting, and content moderation guardrails. Their focus stays on auditable model outputs, reproducible benchmarking, and robust CI/CD integration for AI assets.
