EP.01EPFL · Sorbonne · ETH Zürich

Training arc

EPFL for the bachelor, a year at Sorbonne in Paris, then the MSc at ETH Zürich in Robotics, Systems & Control. The coursework that stuck: deep learning for autonomous driving, model predictive control, robot dynamics.

Reading intent

Master focus project: I added hand movement data to gaze-based action recognition. Task recognition accuracy rose to 91%. Graded 5.5 out of 6.

Mechatronics

Mechatronics intern: automated test frameworks, embedded systems and CAD hardware, plus OCR computer vision that had to work in real conditions, not in a lab. On the side, an Arduino RC kart.

The machine

Freelance lead mechanical engineer: I designed automated production machinery and worked with manufacturing partners until it ran in real-world operation.

The spine

Master thesis: an RGB-D method to guide pedicle screw placement in robotic spine surgery. ZED stereo cameras, optical tracking, segmentation of the lumbar spine from L1 to L5, and live tracking in ROS2 for the EU Horizon FAROS project.

The shop

Idea to shop floor with full P&L: budget, permits, suppliers, equipment, staff and SOPs. Up to 200+ units a day for 7 B2B clients and walk-in customers, at about 65% gross margin.

The pipeline

Founder Associate at an AI startup that audits freight invoices against negotiated tariffs. The full enterprise sales cycle across Switzerland, an automated go-to-market pipeline that booked inbound meetings, and 40 to 80 cold calls a day.

Iron

The gym, measured. I co-founded the company behind two live AI fitness apps: HyperBody, a physique coach that scores every muscle group and rewrites your plan every week, and Rate My Body, an aesthetics score from 0 to 100. HyperBody's form checks run on the analysis engine I wrote.

Trust

Season finale. Commercial operations and client enablement at a life sciences quality consultancy in Basel, reporting to the CEO. Nine projects so far, from an engine that reads FDA warning letters every night to an AI that drafts validation documents a qualified person signs.
