Development of B2B ERP system.
◆ Led product strategy resulting in 2x customer growth through data-driven decision-making
◆ Built comprehensive analytics infrastructure improving product decisions by 40%
◆ Developed enterprise offering from conception to launch

Owned both product and technical leadership for a robotics platform in the CHILI Lab at EPFL. Managed embedded and high-level software development of a tabletop rehabilitation robot, while exploring commercialization paths.

Highlights:
• Developed ROS-based perception and control stack integrating camera, IMU, and encoder data
• Increased mechanical reliability and localization precision by 98% through redesigned drive system
• Introduced modular architecture, cutting costs by 30% and improving maintainability
• Defined the clinical use case with hospitals, leading a product pivot toward stroke rehabilitation
• Managed roadmap, funding milestones, and multi-disciplinary teams (mechanical, firmware, clinical)

Worked in an advanced robotics research team to design and control a self-balancing omni-directional robot. The project combined cutting-edge control theory with real-time perception and embedded systems.

Key contributions:
• Developed a sensor fusion stack combining LiDAR, IMU, camera, and encoders using Kalman filters
• Designed real-time controllers in C++ for trajectory tracking and stabilization
• Implemented SLAM and visual path planning in ROS to enable autonomous indoor navigation
• Built simulation environments to validate algorithms before hardware deployment

Led prototyping efforts for industrial fiber-blowing machinery, integrating embedded systems with real-time feedback for improved safety and performance.

Key responsibilities and outcomes:
• Designed fault detection algorithms in C++ and Python using pressure, optical, and encoder data
• Prototyped sensor-integrated systems using Arduino/STM32 to monitor cable tension and machine health
• Conducted field testing, gathered operator feedback, and translated findings into product improvements
• Contributed to a digital product ecosystem for job tracking and remote diagnostics
• Coordinated with suppliers and mechanical teams to prepare a scalable production design

Contributed to AI, RPA, and computer vision initiatives for enterprise clients across Europe. Helped teams deliver intelligent automation to optimize compliance and operational workflows.

Highlights:
• Built OpenCV-based seatbelt detection and facial recognition tools for smart surveillance
• Developed random forest models for fraud detection in banking workflows
• Delivered RPA solutions reducing manual work by up to 40% for logistics and admin teams
• Managed requirements gathering and stakeholder communication in multi-country deployments
• Prototyped CV systems used in public safety pilots with national agencies

Interned with the Strategy team, supporting telecom and technology clients on market positioning and product innovation.

Projects included:
• Developed go-to-market strategies for telco IoT and Video-on-Demand offerings
• Conducted market research and investment prioritization for data infrastructure in emerging markets
• Evaluated competitive landscapes and supported pricing strategy recommendations
• Built strategic briefs for C-level clients on business model transformation

Early professional experience as a full-stack developer for a B2B ERP platform in a fast-moving startup.

Key achievements:
• Delivered core modules in C# and SQL for inventory, billing, and CRM functionality
• Worked across frontend and backend architecture to improve performance and usability
• Collaborated with the business founder on feature planning and client feedback integration
• Gained exposure to both software development and business strategy at an early stage
