My background is in high-performance computing and data science. I spent years building algorithms to model how pathogens evolve and spread across the globe, and that work still shapes how I design systems today: keep the data intact, fail small rather than large, and scale with the problem rather than against it.

Most of my career has been application integration and architecture in highly regulated sectors — healthcare, life sciences, energy, and finance, where there’s little room to get it wrong.

What I enjoy most is taking a multi-disciplinary team from a blank page to something delivered — and, along the way, mentoring the engineers and scientists who are just getting started.

Away from the keyboard, I’m a private pilot, an avid cyclist, and a passionate mountain hiker.

I’ve also kept a hand in my family’s shirt business back in Franciacorta, where I look after the IT and the software.

My professional journey

My first cloud role was at Amanox Solutions in Bern, where I worked on data-analytics and machine-learning projects and helped teams adopt DevSecOps and serverless ways of working. I supported clients through their move to the cloud — among them Fisch Asset Management, Straumann, Clariant, and Alpiq.

In June ‘20 I joined Alpiq’s Digital & Commerce Technology team, first as a Cloud Engineer and then as Technical Lead. I coordinated cloud projects, set the engineering and CI/CD standards for hybrid teams, and turned architecture diagrams into things those teams could actually build and reproduce.

From July ‘22 to January ‘25 I was a Senior Solutions Architect for Healthcare and Life Sciences at AWS, working with startups across EMEA’s regulated markets. The work I’m proudest of there: I delivered the first DiGAV-compliant solution on AWS; co-founded the AWS HCLS Byte Nights meetup series in Berlin, Zurich, and Amsterdam; co-authored a prescriptive guide for deploying Galaxy for the AWS Solutions Library; and mentored founders through AION Lab, BioMedX, and the AWS Students Mentoring Program.


In January 2025 I left AWS to work on my own terms. I held my heading true and flew to open horizons — above the clouds, to a new journey.

In February 2025, I’ve started my adventure as an independent Senior Solutions Architect in healthcare and life sciences — the work that makes me happiest. I help an AI-driven drug-discovery company, and a platform that supports clinical studies, turn hard medtech problems into architectures their teams can actually build, working shoulder to shoulder with their engineers from the first sketch to a working proof of concept.

Since July ‘25 I’m also Software Architect at Dentsply Sirona, shaping the cloud platform behind modern dentistry. My focus there is using AI to help engineers do better work — clearer documentation, higher standards — instead of just shipping faster.

And I teach: I’m a guest lecturer for “Cloud Computing for Life Sciences” as part of the Data Science in Life Sciences courses offered at FHNW.
