About Me

Senior Applied AI Engineer, Berlin

I specialise in integrating AI into real products — agents that automate workflows, LLM systems that power features at scale, and semantic search that works in production, not just in demos.

At Contentful I lead AI engineering for an enterprise content platform used by thousands of companies worldwide. I work across the full AI stack: prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems, vector databases, MCP, and AWS Bedrock.

Before AI became everyone's focus, I spent 15 years building design systems at Zalando, platform architecture at Contentful, and mobile apps from scratch. That foundation means I build AI that fits into real products — with real users and real constraints.

I care about collaboration as much as code. The best systems I've built came from working closely with product and design, not just shipping tickets.
