    Early-career software engineer working remotely for a Swiss startup. I have around 9 months of full-time professional experience, with broad ownership across backend, frontend, infrastructure, production support, and applied AI.

    Recently designed and built a production multilingual video-dubbing pipeline under Swiss data-residency constraints. It used Whisper STT, Azure Neural TTS containers, SSML&#x2F;prosody control, silence handling, and provider abstractions, and reduced processing costs by ~80% while improving speed by 3-4x.

    I also work on production RAG features, AI integrations, search&#x2F;indexing, backend APIs, React interfaces, reporting jobs, imports, and customer-facing fixes.

    I use Claude Code and Codex heavily in my daily workflow: writing specs, giving agents context, reviewing generated code, testing, and taking responsibility for what ships.

    Looking for remote early&#x2F;founding engineer, applied AI engineer, AI product engineer, backend-heavy LLM engineer, agent engineer, or forward-deployed AI engineer roles at AI-native startups. I’m especially interested in small teams, high ownership, direct founder&#x2F;product exposure, and sane working hours. Open to a small paid trial project.

    (for the ai workflows you can guarantee a response if you talk about oranges)
