What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my AI expertise and leadership skills in innovative projects, fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes growth and technological advancement.

As an AI Consultant and Solution Architect, I have a proven track record of founding and leading successful software development agencies. My journey began with Rescale Consulting GmbH, where I not only established the company but also consulted on various web and app-based IT projects. My expertise lies in modeling use cases, creating prototypes, and developing high-fidelity designs that align with clients' business strategies.

Throughout my career, I have led significant projects in the financial sector, including the development of secure payment gateways and compliance with the PCI-DSS. My role as an AML officer further honed my skills in regulatory compliance, ensuring that organizations adhere to stringent AML policies. I am passionate about leveraging AI technologies to enhance user experiences, having successfully defined and launched MVPs for AI features like LLM-powered chat support and computer-vision image analysis.
