Some of my results.
At Procter & Gamble I led a team of five on several projects: a clearer market view, faster decisions, 4,000+ hours a year saved.
At GF Machining Solutions I brought machine learning into sales in three countries, reporting to the board, before the AI wave.
I built an online coffee shop from zero. It made over CHF 500,000 in its first year. Today its prices and stock manage themselves, with my code.

/// decision support
Tools that tell people where to act.
Predictions and rankings that sales teams, and I, acted on every morning.
Routes that survive a cancelled stop.
Planning a round when a stop may be gone by the time you arrive.
/// language AI
Reading between the lines.
Language AI on what people wrote: customer feedback, local news, hard stories, lecture notes.
Six years of customer comments, sorted.
Praise and criticism by theme and country, in a dozen languages.
Reading the local news for bias.
Hundreds of articles narrowed to a short list for volunteers.
Real stories, illustrated by AI.
Shown in three venues in Ticino, seen by 1,000+ people.
/// computer vision and data collection
From pixels to numbers.
Cameras, screens and sensors turned into measurements: flaws, flight paths, prices, proof.
Finding flaws in metal surfaces.
The model learns what a good surface looks like, and flags the rest.
Where the drone really flew.
GPS was off by metres, the new system by decimetres.
Rock, paper, scissors, learned live.
A class trains an AI on photos of its own hands.
Trading inside a video game.
33,292 prices read off the screen in four and a half months.
Proof that the ads went live.
Hundreds of screenshots a day, now taken and checked by a tool.
/// automation and delivery
Shipped, and still running.
Products built from zero, and the automation that keeps them going without me.
The coffee shop that runs itself.
Prices and stock run on their own; a 34% overcharge caught.
A new face for the coffee shop.
From a template shop to a brand with one promise.
From a pitch to a working app.
Product owner and lead developer of a small team.
Many tables on one sheet, pulled apart.
Saves a colleague 3 to 4 hours every week.
/// volunteer
Working for a better future.
I work for a better generation of leaders.
I train to be a better world citizen.
I build connections and bridges.
