Portfolio

This is an excerpt of my projects — a selection of work across industry, research, teaching, and the public sector.

Tunga Agricultural Chatbot

Published:

A Kinyarwanda telephone voicebot that answers farmers’ questions from verified agricultural knowledge. Now used in Rwanda’s Ministry of Agriculture call center.

Rwanda National GPU Data Center

Published:

Helped Rwanda with its first dedicated GPU server and conceptualize a national HPC center for sovereign public-sector AI.

German Municipal RAG Chatbot

Published:

Built a RAG chatbot that gives citizens conversational, sourced answers about German municipal services from official documentation.

Project-Based Learning: Chatbot Challenge

Published:

Designed and led project-based TU Berlin courses where students shipped working chatbots — from tourism bots and games to systems that train people against science denial.

AI Infrastructure & Efficient LLM Deployment

Published:

Shortly after ChatGPT’s release, the first open-source LLMs started appearing - and almost immediately ran into a practical problem: there was no standard, reliable way to actually deploy them. Every model came with its own quirks, hardware requirements, and setup process. I initiated an open-source project to build a deployment platform that made running these models a solved problem rather than a fresh engineering exercise every time.

Federated Chatbots Consultancy

Published:

Advised a major German IT company on federated multi-agent chatbot architecture and improved their modeling and evaluation pipeline.

Legal Semantic Search Platform

Published:

Implemented a semantic search platform that finds legal documents by meaning rather than exact keyword matches.

dfki.de Website Relaunch

Published:

Tech-led the relaunch of DFKI’s institutional website — over 180,000 pages across 25 research departments — on time and on budget.

FREME Project

Published:

Led a 15-person international team transferring multilingual semantic NLP technologies to industry; rated excellent by the EU.
