Google · Forward Deployed Engineer III (Zurich)

LinkedIn

I build AI agents and get them working in the real world.

Forward Deployed Engineer candidate for Google Applied AI in Zurich. As AI Lead at Zurich Airport, I drove voice AI from concept through formal enterprise tender and consolidated fragmented platforms for ~35k staff. Through KI Unlocked, I architect, code, and ship agentic AI systems like Leistera that solve high-stakes document and workflow operations in regulated Swiss environments.

How I move from zero to deployed

Five stages. Pick one to see the layer, what runs, and what blocks it.

DiscoverDecideBuildDeployScale

Discover

Layer: Intake

Map stakeholders, data boundaries and who can say yes.

What runs

Call arrives, language detect, intent classify

What blocks it

Procurement cycles and too many stakeholders, no single owner.

Selected projects I created from scratch this year

I'd rather show you than tell you.
