Into the Field
PromiseQ · Machine Learning Engineer
Berlin, Germany · Remote
My first taste of industry: an Industrial Training internship (Grade A) that grew into a part-time role on a real-time, production ML system.
- Built an adaptable, modular prediction processor for real-time image/video post-processing in a distributed pipeline.
- Added a hierarchical YAML pipeline generator for conditional post-processing, and a switchable JSON mock-prediction mode that cut video processing and VM costs in internal testing.
- Integrated the processor into the live pipeline with concurrent programming, alongside Nvidia DeepStream and GStreamer on the threat-detection system.
- Resolved Docker/Kubernetes and RabbitMQ issues across testing and production ML services.

Where I Build Now
Coachello · Senior Software Engineer, AI / Automation & Backend
Paris, France · Remote
- Supervised interns, part-timers and junior engineers, and made notable contributions to the business development that landed Coachello's initial AI coaching deals and opened the door to several more.
- Co-led development of Coachello's Copilot Agent, defining the flow, designing the endpoints, and architecting the integration under AI security and regulatory requirements.
- Built the backend for key features, including a content recommendation system and multi-modal (text, voice, avatar), RAG-based personalised coaching and roleplay.
- Designed RESTful APIs and WebSocket endpoints, working with the UI team to define data flows, and contributed to UI features and end-to-end user workflows.
- Monitored AWS deployments, resolved infrastructure issues, and supported the migration from AWS to Azure with full post-migration testing.
- Led migration of the vector database infrastructure between managed providers, preserving data integrity and coaching quality.
