Hi there, I'm Gordon πŸ‘‹

Twitter Follow

I turn AI into repeatable value creation β€” as a builder, operator, and trusted advisor. Full-stack engineer turned founder turned AI strategist, I ship production LLM platforms (0β†’1 in <90 days), enable engineering teams, and bridge the gap between technical possibility and business reality.

🎯 Operating Modes

  • Builder: Founded and sold AI LegalTech to Swiss enterprises (incl. Swisscom) via DocIQ
  • Operator: Recently transformed KISIM (Switzerland's leading CIS) with AI-first capabilities at Cistec AG
  • Technical Expert: Engaged by top law firms for IP/copyright analysis and expert testimony
  • Advisor: Guide VCs, C-suites, and portfolio companies on AI strategy, architecture, and risk via Mickel Tech

πŸš€ What I Build

My work focuses on creating robust, production-ready AI systems that drive measurable business outcomes:

  • Reusable AI Platforms: LLM API gateways, vector search services, RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks
  • Privacy-Preserving AI: On-prem PII masking (97%+ accuracy) for FADP/GDPR compliance in regulated environments
  • Agentic Architectures: Multi-agent systems, prompt-to-structured-data compilers, semantic search at scale
  • Developer Enablement: AI coding assistant rollouts, prompt engineering playbooks, safety guardrails
  • Production LLM Ops: Evaluation pipelines (quality/safety/latency/cost), observability, A/B testing

πŸ’‘ Recent Wins

  • Shipped production LLM platform in <3 months driving new ARR in Swiss hospitals
  • Built reusable AI components adopted by 6+ internal teams
  • Scaled GitHub Copilot/Cursor to 50+ engineers with measurable productivity gains
  • Forged strategic partnerships (Google Cloud, research institutions)
  • Speaker at openEHR.ch Symposium on "Agentic AI for Structured Clinical Data"

🎯 2025 Focus

  • Exploring Operating Principal and Staff/Principal AI Engineering opportunities
  • Building the next generation of agentic AI systems
  • Advising select teams where deep technical execution meets strategic impact
  • Open-source contributions to the AI engineering community
