Senior Product Leader & Solutions Architect · Berlin

Building AI-native systems
for structured decision-making.

I build scalable AI platforms, workflow infrastructure, and operational systems at the intersection of product strategy, machine intelligence, and human oversight. Over the past decade I've led products across AI SaaS, live-streaming infrastructure, digital-twin systems, community platforms, and high-scale operational environments.

What I'm building now

AI infrastructure, decision systems, and operational tooling for complex workflows.

Prototype

Digital-Democracy.de

Prototype platform for transparent audit and compliance workflows. The system combines rule-mapping infrastructure, procedural analysis, document intelligence, and AI-assisted resolution guidance to help users explore permits, rulings, and regulatory processes in a structured and explainable way.

Core features include document upload workflows, pseudonymization pipelines for AI safety compliance, traceable rule mapping systems, human-in-the-loop review processes, and actionable procedural guidance. Designed as a transparency and explainability layer for complex administrative and regulatory environments.

Active

AskSwedenborg

Semantic retrieval and research interface built around the complete Swedenborg corpus. The system combines RAG architectures, multilingual retrieval pipelines, glossary-grounded generation, and structured citation systems to support long-context exploration across more than 30 volumes.

Built as an experiment in AI-assisted research interfaces, semantic navigation, and knowledge retrieval over highly interconnected textual domains.

How I think about building

01
Good AI systems expose reasoning, not just output.

Decision-critical systems fail when they hide their logic. Explainability and operational transparency aren't optional — they're first-class product requirements.

02
Operational trust matters more than model novelty.

Users and businesses don't care about the architecture. They care about consistency, auditability, and predictable failure modes. The best AI systems feel boring to use.

03
Human oversight should be designed into the workflow.

AI in regulated or high-stakes environments isn't automation — it's tooling. The interface between AI output and human decision-making is where product strategy lives.

04
Most enterprise AI problems are infrastructure problems.

Model performance matters less than data pipelines, evaluation systems, and operational feedback loops. Sustainable AI products are built, not found.
