Head of Software Engineering - Fioneer AI Agent
Berlin, Germany
Architect-owner of two production AI orchestration platforms, partnering with GTM to put them in customers' hands. Two stacks of commercial evidence (SAP Fioneer AI Agent + my current AI startup), three engineering teams scaled from scratch, 21 years in software.
What I bring to a CTO / Chief AI Architect / CPTO seat — four value props in one hire:
▸ Architecture + product vision + GTM partnership.
At SAP Fioneer: pioneered the company's first commercial GenAI product on a traditional ABAP runtime, scaled the team 1→20+, contributed to multiple co-innovation deals closed with major industry players. I partner closely with sales and customer success on customer-facing technical conversations — bringing technical depth, compliance posture, and architectural conviction into the room.
At Commerzbank/Neugelb (Head of Mobile): transformed Neugelb from a design studio into Commerzbank's mobile software house, won the CB/Comdirect mobile merger project (platform used by 40+ engineers; app reached 1M+ users, 4.6 iOS / 4.3 Android).
▸ Deep AI orchestration platform experience — two production stacks.
SAP Fioneer AI Agent (launched June 2025; bring-your-own-LLM, SAP Joule + Microsoft Copilot integration; generally available across Banking / Insurance / Finance).
At my current startup I solo-built the AI orchestration substrate: 5-provider LLM abstraction, full agentic tool-call pipeline with sealed-type intent hierarchy and bounded context-resolution loops, multi-provider embedding + vector-store abstractions.
▸ LLM-leveraged production-code velocity at team-scale output.
LLM is my primary collaborator — brainstorming partner, pair-coder, stress-tester, doc-drafter — layered on top of my own architecture decisions. Current output: a multi-tenant enterprise AI SaaS — Spring Boot/Kotlin modular monolith with custom Spring Security ACL; hand-engineered React/TS frontend; Azure-native infrastructure plan; vendor-grade compliance package (TOM, SIG-CAIQ, subprocessor governance, audit-support runbook).
▸ Team-building motion — three cycles across 21 years.
Neugelb mobile 4→24. SAP Fioneer AI Agent 1→20+ in ~18 months. Plus an earlier co-founder cycle in Cairo. Beyond hiring, I install the engineering operating system — SDLC, code review, hiring, levels, growth plans, performance reviews — alongside the team.
Open to: Founding CTO / CPTO / Chief AI Architect / Head of AI Platform / AI Orchestration Lead at AI-native B2B — especially regulated industries, multi-tenant SaaS, enterprise data platforms, fintech / regtech. Europe + remote-EU.
