• Designing & developing GenAI use cases and assets for the finance departments, relying on Azure services as well as open source components such as LangChain, Redis and Ollama. Among the developed use cases:

• Generating narrative for management reporting, where commentary for financial results is drafted by the application.

• Chatbots with vector RAG & graph RAG patterns to enable cost effective development of assistants with private information, using Redis and Neo4j as backend databases respectively

• Reporting assistant where the users can query databases using natural language instead of SQL, allowing for quicker turnaround for ad-hoc analytics requests.

• External risk monitoring chatbot relying on newsfeed and specialized reports to generate and update risk overviews in an automated fashion.

• Designed, implemented, tested and documented a Java application for a global Swiss insurer, to support cashflow processing and calculation as part of a large finance transformation project, along with the integration to the source and target systems. The application sped up the target processes by a minimum of 15x, and up to 180x for some workloads.

• Advised clients on planning & predictive forecasting application & process implementation, from discovery/design, led implementation and integration, until UAT and go-live. Among the covered industries are healthcare groups, consumer products, luxury groups, electronics engineering and professional services

• Designed and developed a blockchain application running on a dedicated Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network. The application showcased security pitfalls and limits of blockchain technology through a trade finance application (letters of credit). The application leveraged smart contracts written in Golang, a web interface developed with Node.js, and a dedicated Hyperledger Fabric network deployed through Docker

• Took active part in the development and maintenance of a collaborative "EdTech" application built upon Meteor.js, React and Material UI

• Took ownership of the online lecture viewer feature, video upload and transcoding, and rebuilt application localization logic

• Design, development and deployment of a personalized workout and nutrition coaching service

• Focus on the backend architecture development (Node.js; MongoDB; Redis) and the mobile user experience (React Native)

• Deployment of the services and its individual components on a cloud platform and setting up high availability.
