The hard part of AI isn't building it.
Deployed is not the same as adopted.
I design AI systems rooted in behavioural science, so your teams adopt them instead of resisting them.

German A2 The Human Side of AI Transformation
I'm a 28-year-old AI operations specialist based in Lausanne, Switzerland. With a Bachelor's in Behavioral & Social Sciences from IE University and 5 years of hands-on experience in Swiss tech startups, I sit at a rare intersection: I understand both why people resist change and how to build the AI systems they'll actually embrace.
Over the past five years, I've worked across FinTech, CleanTech, and Digital Marketing: designing agentic workflows, automating sales pipelines, building AI governance frameworks, and restructuring operational toolkits. Every project starts with the same question: how do we make this work for the people who'll use it?
My mission is to help organizations adopt AI responsibly, with systems that are not only powerful but also ethical, transparent, and designed for human adoption.
