About Me
I'm a part-time digital nomad with a home base in Switzerland. While I'm working hard on my Spanish, I can currently offer to work with you in English, German and Schwizerdütsch.​ I've been working in software engineering for two decades, half of that in CTO positions. You can find some of my open-source projects on GitHub.
That said, I'm not just a techie; I'm also an ambitious strategic thinker. For some projects I have had to dig deep into product management, digital marketing, cybersecurity, or finance. I've also worked a lot in project management, recruiting and specialised on setting up and managing remote engineering teams.
At the age of 18, I've spent my savings on incorporating my first (unsuccessful) venture. Since then, I've researched dozens of business ideas, put together countless financial plans and pitch decks, and validated a handful of prototypes on the market.
Working on exciting new projects with inspiring people has always been a passion of mine. I want to dedicate parts of my time to sharing my experiences with other entrepreneurs. With my boutique consultancy firm, I strive to add tangible value to my clients’ businesses and help them overcome challenges they're facing with their ventures.

Technologies
Languages
I prefer to work with Python, PHP, and JavaScript (Node.js), but consider myself language agnostic. I've worked in several projects with Go, Java or C.
DevOps - MLOps
Using Bitbucket, GitHub or GitLab, integrated with CI/CD pipelines. For machine learning, I prefer Kubeflow. Terraform would be my choice for Infrastructure-as-Code setups.
CMS - E-Commerce
I've developed dozens of projects based on WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Typo3, Magento, Shopify and led the development of a proprietary CMS.
Automation
Experienced with n8n and Make for workflow automation and process orchestration. Focus on integrating APIs and automating data pipelines, with minimal overhead.
Frameworks
My to-go-frameworks are FastAPI, Django, Laravel and Lumen with React and Vue.js for the frontend. In earlier days I worked with Symfony, CakePHP, Angular, etc.
Databases
My experience mostly evolves around SQL, in-memory databases (Redis, Memcached, etc.), and vector stores. Less frequently, I'd go for NoSQL options.
Machine Learning
Full-stack experience from data engineering to model development, using XGBoost, TensorFlow, and Keras. Experienced in building ML pipelines using MLOps practices.
Big Data
I build ETL pipelines with BigQuery, Dataproc, Kafka, and distributed data processing. For LLM-based applications, I work with vector stores (Pinecone, FAISS, etc.).
Cloud
Most of my projects run on cloud environments, in the first place Google Cloud and AWS. I'm experienced with Kubernetes and serverless architectures.
Services
I've worked with various software for message brokers, queue systems, search systems and others. RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka, Lucene, just to name a few of them.
Generative AI
Proficient in LLMs, RAG, and AI-driven applications, using Hugging Face and LangChain. Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and LLMops.
APIs
My focus lies on REST and GraphQL APIs, often based on a Microservices architecture and API Gateways. I also still know some SOAP and XML-RCP :)
