  • Ship AI product features agentic retrieval, document processing, tool-use loops, running in production today.

  • Lead distributed teams across Switzerland, Hungary, India, and Serbia with clarity and motivation.

About

I focus on problems where product, architecture, and customer reality all have to line up. I'd rather argue about a real problem than about a process. Direct communication, low politics, and ownership matter to me more than titles.

I'm looking for a senior product or product-engineering role at a startup or scale-up where technical depth and product thinking are both expected, ideally in InsurTech, FinTech, AI tooling, or B2B SaaS. I move fast and like building close to the problem.

Based in Zürich. Open to remote, hybrid, or on-site. [email protected] .
