Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
As a passionate technologist with a background in high-performance computing and data science, I've developed expertise in optimising complex algorithms for global pathogen evolution and distribution models. This experience has fuelled my drive to design and build scalable, resilient, cloud-native solutions that tackle complex challenges head-on. My approach centers on creating future-ready systems that ensure data integrity, minimise failure scenarios, and automatically scale with problem complexity. I excel at leading multi-disciplinary teams from concept to delivery, driving projects with a keen eye for innovation and efficiency. My expertise extends to application integration design and sustainable architecture development, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, life sciences, energy, and finance. Outside of work, I'm a private pilot, an avid cyclist and a passionate mountain hiker. These diverse interests enhance my ability to approach projects from multiple angles and work effectively with diverse teams. I'm eager to leverage my technical skills, leadership experience, and domain knowledge to drive innovation, mentor emerging talent, and craft impactful solutions that address the unique challenges in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
I design and guide the architecture of our cloud-based solutions, ensuring that innovation, scalability, and reliability remain at the core of every product. My role bridges business strategy and technical execution—enabling teams to deliver intelligent, secure, and connected software that supports modern dentistry worldwide. I work with 4 development teams, 40+ engineers, and 5+ product owners across two organisations, championing a responsible, human‑centred approach to AI adoption. In a landscape where almost every software organisation is experimenting with AI, but many struggle with code quality and maintainability, I focus on using AI to augment engineers and POs—improving documentation, raising code standards, and accelerating delivery of business‑relevant features rather than chasing raw velocity. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define architectural best practices, drive technical decisions, and lead the systematic implementation of services and components across our cloud ecosystem. As part of the DS Core architecture board, I help shape our long-term technical vision, build proof‑of‑concepts to validate key decisions, and ensure architectural integrity across multiple product lines. Beyond systems design, I actively mentor engineers, promote governance standards, and champion a culture of technical excellence and thoughtful AI adoption. My work spans deep technical exploration—from crafting modular and robust architectures to facilitating complex integrations across distributed systems—ultimately driving the success and scalability of Dentsply Sirona’s digital platform.
As a specialist in healthcare and life sciences, I design robust, secure and scalable solutions that advance AI research, enhance patient care, and deliver operational insights. I translate the technical complexity of medtech—compliance constraints, data sensitivity, interoperability challenges—into clear, actionable architectures that teams can build on with confidence. My approach is hands‑on: I work side‑by‑side with engineering teams and product owners to design and validate architectures, build proof‑of‑concepts, and ensure that solutions meet regulatory and security requirements from the first line of code. I work at the intersection of technology and real‑world impact, helping organisations turn clinical and operational data into a strategic asset—responsibly, and at scale. Let me be your pilot in command as we drive change, and your co‑pilot as we implement your vision. ✈️
