What I'm building and thinking about.

At the intersection of AI, systems design, and practical outcomes — six lenses I keep returning to.

A

AI Systems

Architecting scalable AI platforms — from forecasting pipelines to multi-agent orchestration. Focus on reliability, evaluation, and production-grade delivery.

B

Agentic Workflows

Designing intelligent automation that augments human decision-making. AI handles complexity, humans handle judgment.

C

Knowledge Systems

RAG architectures, intelligent retrieval, and knowledge copilots that surface the right information at the right moment.

D

Product Thinking

Bringing product ownership discipline to AI — defining KPIs, adoption strategies, and systems people actually use.

E

Decision Intelligence

Transforming data signals into actionable insights. Anomaly detection, forecasting, and human-in-the-loop validation.

F

Personal OS

Applying systems thinking to productivity, content creation, and career growth. AI as leverage for individuals.

Systems I've designed.

Each project is a learning experience in applied AI — presented as system patterns, not client deliverables.

Enterprise · Forecasting

Financial Intelligence Platform

→ 95% forecast accuracy · €7M+ anomalies surfaced

Large organizations rely on fragmented financial data and reactive investigations. I designed a scalable intelligence platform combining forecasting models, anomaly detection workflows, and decision-support dashboards — across 35+ countries with 99.5% uptime.

AI Copilot for Knowledge

→ 50% QA reduction · 50% faster validation cycles

Teams struggle with fragmented knowledge and repetitive documentation. I designed an AI copilot combining retrieval, workflow automation, and intelligent assistance — accelerating delivery while keeping humans in the loop.

AI Content Operating System

→ One insight → multi-platform content

A content OS powered by specialized AI workflows using CrewAI, LangChain, and custom agents — transforming research into blog posts, social scripts, and repurposed content across YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

NudgePay

→ In exploration

Behavioral design meets financial guidance. An experimental product exploring how intelligent nudges and personalized AI can help people make better long-term financial decisions.

Behavioral FinanceNudge Theory

The NUDGE Method.

A systems-design framework for building AI products that create lasting value — from opportunity through governance.

N

Navigate the Opportunity

Define the problem worth solving. Map the system as it exists today.

U

Understand the System

Identify data flows, decision points, and human touchpoints.

D

Design Intelligence

Architect AI components that fit naturally into existing workflows.

G

Generate Value

Deploy, measure adoption, validate business impact.

E

Expand and Govern

Scale responsibly with evaluation frameworks and oversight.

Designing workflows people actually use

Adoption is the hardest part of enterprise AI. The systems that stick are designed around how people work.

Agentic · 7 min

When not to build an AI agent

Agents are powerful, expensive, and often unnecessary. A simple pipeline with clear evaluation criteria frequently wins.

From anomaly alert to business action

Detecting an anomaly is easy. The hard part is designing the system so the right human gets context to act in time.

In 2017, I moved to Germany to pursue a Master's in Data Science at the Technical University of Munich — when AI education was far less accessible. Before that, I spent several years building software. While I enjoyed engineering, I found myself drawn to harder questions.

How do systems make decisions? How can technology augment human judgment? How do ideas move from experimentation to meaningful impact? That curiosity led me into AI, machine learning, forecasting, anomaly detection, and large-scale intelligent systems.

Let's talk systems.

Open to conversations about AI, interesting projects, speaking opportunities, and ideas worth exploring.

This isn't a consulting funnel. It's an open door to conversations I find genuinely interesting — system design challenges, speaking opportunities, collaborations, or ideas you'd like to think through.
