Generative AI consulting focused on enterprise multi-agent systems, knowledge management, agentic analytics, and cloud infrastructure.
- Delivered an enterprise GenAI knowledge-management system over 200+ technical documents, reducing operator search time by 52% through ingestion pipelines, retrieval evaluation, Qdrant, Neo4j, and agentic GraphRAG workflows.
- Designed an Azure-based agentic analytics platform that converts transactional data into validated, actionable reports, reducing recurring report preparation time by 81% through SQL and object-storage integration, specialized agents, workflow memory, and automated quality checks.
- Built a stateful multi-agent orchestration platform with Python and LangGraph, enabling non-technical users to execute AI-assisted business processes and reducing end-to-end execution time by approximately 50%.
- Implemented reusable agent integrations using tool calling, MCP-compatible interfaces, structured Pydantic schemas, and human-in-the-loop workflow stages across 4 engineering teams.
- Provisioned reproducible AWS environments with Terraform, Kubernetes, networking, load balancing, API gateways, and containerized AI services, supporting separate development, testing, and production configurations.
- Led GenAI coding-platform adoption across 4 engineering teams by defining agent workflows, repository-aware development practices, and reusable tool integrations for multiple software-delivery use cases.

2024.09 - Present Remote / Tübingen, Germany
Applied AI Researcher
University of Tübingen, Mental Health Mapping Lab
Applied AI research in psychiatric neuroimaging, generative modeling, explainable AI, and medical-image analysis.
- Built a reproducible PyTorch and SLURM pipeline for distributed medical-image training, inference, experiment tracking, and explainability evaluation across approximately 70,000 DICOM/NIfTI images and 300,000 clinical records.
- Developed generative-AI and explainable-AI methods for psychiatric neuroimaging, combining diffusion-based counterfactual generation, computer vision, statistical evaluation, and clinically oriented model interpretation.
- Contributed to 2 open-source medical-AI projects covering foundation-model merging and neuroimaging explainability, including MedSAMix and HDPS.

DevOps Engineer, Telecommunications Consultant
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
DevOps and consulting role delivering CI/CD, backend integration, and delivery automation for a major telecommunications customer.
- Built a Jenkins, Java, Spring, and SQL deployment system for 1 major telecommunications customer, reducing release execution time by approximately 90% while improving repeatability and operational reliability.
- Owned delivery across 3 stakeholder groups---client representatives, software developers, and operations engineers---translating business requirements into technical designs, implementation plans, and production releases.
- Implemented Java and SQL backend integrations and introduced containerized delivery components, removing production blockers across multiple release cycles.
