About
Founder of PolyPilot | AI Agents for Regulated Engineering | ex GenAI Lead & Team Manager | PhD in Autonomous Systems
I am the founder of PolyPilot, an early-stage Swiss startup building the Engineering OS for regulated industries, starting with Swiss MedTech. PolyPilot uses AI agents, knowledge graphs, source-grounded retrieval, and human-in-the-loop workflows to help engineering and RA/QA teams automate non-value-added compliance, traceability, documentation, and change-impact work. Professionally, I am a GenAI Lead and Team Manager at Autonomous Reply France, where I lead projects around GenAI multi-agent systems for engineering automation. My background combines a PhD in autonomous systems/control engineering, safety-critical automotive engineering, ADAS, embedded systems, and AI-based engineering tools. I am currently looking for a technical CTO/co-founder profile who can own AI agent deployment, AgentOps, knowledge graphs, LLM systems, cloud architecture, evaluation, and scalable product engineering.
