Project history

Founder & Lead AI Engineer

SmartSearchAI
Founded and leads a 4-person AI engineering team delivering production-grade GenAI solutions for German enterprise clients including subcontracted delivery for Innomatik AG. Architected and deployed GenAI applications including RAG, semantic search, and AI agents, owning the full lifecycle from requirements and solution architecture through production deployment and ongoing support.

AI Engineer

Innomatik AG
Architected and maintained a production-grade RAG framework (BIT-RAG) with hybrid dense and sparse retrieval using Milvus and OpenSearch, LLM reranking, and automated data-generation and evaluation pipelines. Deployed open-source LLMs at scale using vLLM and TGI powering full-stack chatbot platforms with FastAPI and React, multi-tenant access control, multilingual support, and OCR-based document search.

AI Engineer

Merck KGaA
Developed an evidence-grounded research assistant that retrieves relevant papers across multiple scientific databases and generates citation-backed answers using LLMs. Designed and built custom autonomous agents with reasoning, tool use, and self-correction capabilities based on ReAct-style architectures. Applied machine learning to process development, supporting data-driven decisions in pharmaceutical R&D workflows.

Machine Learning Engineer

iNeuron
Built, optimized, and deployed ML models using MLOps practices on a 100k+ record financial dataset to predict loan approvals, addressing class imbalance and ensuring reliable model performance in production
