Founder & CTO / Head of AI
CVChatly · Self-employedNov 2025 – Present · Full-timeBerlin, Germany
Two-product AI platform for career identity, job search, and skills development. I own strategy, architecture, AI, delivery, and compliance.CVChatly: AI career platform• Defined product and AI strategy, then took a multi-product SaaS from zero to production: 5 services, 2 products on one shared platform, over 1,500 releases in 12 months.• Designed the platform architecture: web apps, a typed API, a Python AI service, PostgreSQL/pgvector, and a browser extension. Services have strict boundaries, are linked by circuit-breaker clients, and run on a hybrid cloud (Vercel + VPS + managed Postgres) with zero-downtime rolling deploys.• Built a 10-agent LLM orchestration layer with a per-task model router across 6 providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Scaleway, Groq, local), versioned prompts, admin-selectable models, and per-agent kill switches.• Set up AI FinOps: hard daily budgets per provider, semantic caching, batching, and a usage-based token and billing model on Stripe. Production AI cost stays at [X] per generated application bundle.• Put AI quality controls in place: confidence gates (≥0.70 auto-accept), grounding-only prompts against hallucination, integrity checks on generated documents, and an explicit user choice instead of a silent template fallback when AI is unavailable.• Launched a recruiter-facing 'digital twin' chat. It answers only from the candidate's verified profile, streams responses, detects intent, keeps conversation memory, and has a recruiter workspace for matching candidates to roles.• Shipped a Chrome extension (MV3) that scores job fit and autofills applications on LinkedIn and major ATS platforms (Workday, Taleo, SuccessFactors).CVChatly Learn: AI learning product• Launched a second product on the shared platform. It turns skill gaps from target job descriptions into personalized training plans with daily scheduling that respects the learner's availability.• Built preparation for EU public-sector competitions (EPSO): grade-aware practice tests drawing on a bank of about 4,800 questions, AI-narrated courses (async TTS), and a recruiter-outreach track.Governance, security, and delivery• Led GDPR and EU AI Act compliance: PII masking across AI pipelines and logs, AI-interaction transparency, data-residency reviews of LLM vendors, cascading account deletion, and signed URLs for private documents.• Set engineering standards: RBAC, refresh-token rotation, CI/CD quality gates, about 840 automated test suites, 440 versioned database migrations, and full localization (EN/ES/FR/DE).
