What I do today
I work with startups and SMEs that want to know what AI can do for them, or already know and need it built.
You talk directly to the person doing the work, with no layer in between.
My own products
I founded two AI products, InkDraft and ThesisCheck, and I handle their architecture, operations and customer acquisition myself.
InkDraft turns a sales-call transcript into a proposal, a service agreement and an NDA. ThesisCheck tests an investment thesis against the company's own filings. Both are live and paid for by their users.
Before that
I automated sales and content work for an agency and built features for Swiss pension software covering around 500,000 members.
Earlier I spent nearly three years at Apple solving customers' technical problems in person, in German and English.
Outside software
As a music artist and producer I built an audience from scratch and reached more than 37 million streams.
