Professional profile
Making complex
systems work.
Working in technology since 2001, shaping architectural vision, platform strategy and governance across complex enterprise environments.
My work focuses on setting architectural direction for enterprise AI and automation in regulated environments. I translate business priorities into platform strategies, reference architectures and governance that teams can put into practice.
At E.ON, my focus includes agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation, responsible AI and secure enterprise adoption. I also explore the operational side of AI: LLMOps, token efficiency and the economics of running platforms at scale.
AI in production
Agentic workflows, RAG patterns, orchestration and the operational foundations for enterprise AI.
Governance by design
