AI Journey: the next level
With the CAS Artificial Intelligence I extend my existing foundation of 15 years of IT practice with the decisive know-how of tomorrow. Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Prompt Engineering and hands-on AI applications — combined with my strength in project management and deep expertise in process optimization and business analysis, this creates entirely new solutions for companies.
AI meets process expertise
Where others deploy AI in isolation, I bring the holistic view: from analyzing existing processes to intelligent automation and sustainable AI use inside the company.
Practice over theory
Applying AI know-how directly in real projects — Vibe-Coding, LLM integration, smart dashboards and automated workflows. The difference lies in execution.
About me

Business Informatics Specialist
from Zürich

With over 15 years of experience in the IT landscape, I combine technical expertise with entrepreneurial foresight. My roots lie in the demanding Swiss financial industry, complemented by solid hands-on practice in retail.

My strength lies in end-to-end ownership: I guide projects across the full lifecycle — from strategic consulting through business analysis and project management to technical delivery.

Quality and security are fixed parts of how I work. After rollout I ensure a sustainable and efficient operation with managed services.
