Innovation & AI Adoption practice · Italy

• •Hire and grow a small engineering team, from recruiting through reviews and day-to-day direction.
• •Work as the solution architect across concurrent client projects. Right now that means a custom optimisation platform for a Swiss energy-sector startup, where I partner with the founders on technical direction and product strategy.
• •Run discovery workshops that turn open-ended business goals into architecture a team can actually build.
• •Handle the technical side of presales, from scoping proposals and estimating effort to presenting solutions to prospective clients.
