Projects & Certifications
Beyond client work and core consulting, I explore new technologies, build tools, and contribute to open-source projects. Here are a few examples.
AI-Powered News Aggregator
A production news platform that ingests RSS and API feeds from major European sources (BBC, RAI, DW, SWI swissinfo), de-duplicates articles, and generates AI-powered summaries via the OpenAI API. Features personalised daily email digests, smart relevance ranking, and a privacy-first architecture with no ads or tracking. Live at aipowered.news.
AI Knowledge Assistant (RAG Chatbot)
A custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation chatbot. Documents are tokenised, embedded, and stored in PostgreSQL with vector search capabilities. On each query, relevant chunks are retrieved and injected into the LLM context, delivering grounded, source-cited answers. The full RAG pipeline built from scratch.
