• Generative AI products for corporate clients, owned from strategy through specification to production.
• Central strategy, local configuration: multi-tenant AI assistant for occupational pension schemes (bAV), delivered as an interactive avatar with text and voice path. Three tenants run on one codebase, each with its own conversation guide, while the knowledge base, guardrails and escalation paths stay central
• Versioned, AI-ready knowledge base composed into a tenant-agnostic voice context and tenant-specific text prompts — the configuration layer that keeps local adaptation from forking the product
• Conversational design: answer limits, scope and off-topic handling, anti-hallucination rules, escalation and lead handover to human advisors
• Five eval suites as a quality gate before any prompt or model change (anti-hallucination, LLM-as-judge failure modes, multi-turn consistency, voice KPIs, action vocabulary with confusion matrix); user test with 10 testers (Hamburg, 07/2026) drove the rework from alpha to beta
• Coordinated external developers, compliance and client stakeholders; GDPR-compliant EU stack, IDD-compliant, EU AI Act classification documented
• Second product line: white-label social media generator for consultancy chilli mind (CH/DE) — one codebase, per-client branding and configuration
• Results: 239+ deployments and a pilot with corporate customers · 108+ deployments for the white-label product · repeatable pattern for multi-tenant AI products in a regulated environment

• Claude Code subagents, MCP, Pydantic V2, pytest, bandit

• Designed and shipped 3 specialized agents that hand work down a line: a research agent writes a cited implementation spec, a coding agent builds the modular code and its tests, a review agent ranks findings by severity and applies the fixes. Each handoff is a structured document, so no stage depends on another agent's context window.

• Connected the research agent to an academic-research MCP server (Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, Hugging Face Hub, citation snowballing) so every reference traces to a tool result rather than the model. Gated commits behind ruff, mypy, pytest and bandit, required human sign-off before installs and commits, and persisted session state on disk so long runs survive a context reset.

• Built a scalable nearshore IT developer hub (Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland) as an independent company through a BOT model (Build – Operate – Transfer)
• Identified, selected, and managed full-service agencies; introduced management and control mechanisms, including KPIs, SLAs, and regular service reviews
• Prepared and reviewed data processing agreements and framework contracts in coordination with Legal & Compliance; integrated regulatory requirements (including KRITIS) into process design
• Advised on cloud vs. on-premise strategies, data storage, and authorization concepts; supported Procurement with tendering and service provider evaluations
• Managed change and process harmonization between internal teams and nearshore partners; reported to executive management, CFO, and CIO

Result: Scalable IT developer hub with an audit-ready governance model, reduced operating costs, and accelerated product development.

Project: Defect Generation on Test-Bench Images of Metal Surfaces Environment: Automated Visual Inspection (AVI), Metallurgy & Manufacturing

• Objective & Implementation: Designed, architected, and trained Generative Adversarial Networks (Pix2PixHD / SPADE) for image-to-image transformation. Targeted generation of synthetic material defects (e.g., cracks, inclusions, scale) on rough metal surfaces under real test-bench lighting conditions for privacy-compliant and efficient dataset expansion (data augmentation).
