Software engineering leader with 10+ years building developer platforms, leading cross-organization initiatives, and shipping products at the intersection of software and biomedical research. MSc and PhD from EPFL. Led teams of up to 70+ contributors across IBM, NIH, Roche/Genentech, Mayo Clinic, and Mount Sinai. Based in Switzerland, previously 10 years in the US.

Since returning to Switzerland, I've been on a self-directed sabbatical: time with family and friends, and a deliberate deep-dive that brings all my skills together (full-stack engineering, infrastructure, security, ontology, UX/UI, developer experience, AI-assisted development) to build Hyterion, an AI-native development platform, and a first product on top of it.

Looking for my next role as Software Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or Principal Software Engineer, ideally where software meets science or health.

🤝 Cross-Organization Collaboration — Led initiatives spanning IBM, NIH, Roche/Genentech, Mayo Clinic, and academic institutions, coordinating 70+ contributors across organizations

🌱 Team Building & Mentoring — Grew and led engineering teams, mentoring engineers from junior to senior across 5+ concurrent products

🧩 Platform Thinking — Designed shared developer platforms that standardize tooling, enable reusable components, and accelerate delivery for both engineers and AI agents

🏗️ Technical Strategy — Drove architectural modernization: monorepo adoption, cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and AI-assisted development workflows

🗣️ Stakeholder Communication — Bridged researchers, engineers, designers, data governance, clinicians, and executives to align on goals and ship impactful products

Private monorepo that evolves the platform ideas I piloted in Sage Monorepo (below) into an AI-native, sovereign setup composed from proven open-source building blocks: agentic workflows on Claude Code (custom skills, MCP servers, autonomous issue-to-PR pipelines with CI-gated self-review), self-hosted CI on ephemeral VMs joined to a WireGuard mesh, full observability, encrypted secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code that stands up dev, staging, and prod environments for a product in minutes. Cost and carbon efficiency guide the design throughout: infrastructure is provisioned on demand and torn down when idle. It currently powers an unreleased product I design, build, and operate end to end: full-stack TypeScript/React on Cloudflare Workers, a Go provisioning service, PostgreSQL, and a linked-data ontology. More at launch.

Monorepo designed to improve developer experience and accelerate the development of full-stack applications. Powers 5+ products including BioArena, Agora, and MODEL-AD. Adopted by 7 engineers across 3 teams who joined the initiative and chose to build their products on the platform. Shared infrastructure, reusable components, and standardized tooling.

Crowdsourced benchmarking platform where the community evaluates AI models on biomedical topics through head-to-head battles (36 models, 407 battles, 100 users). Designed the logo and brand identity. The Community Quest turned battles into blocks of a medieval arena built in Minecraft, with weekly story chapters driving engagement: an experiment in motivating crowdsourced participation through narrative and play.
