- Built a 5-stage automated data pipeline integrating 8+ sources (federal registries, OpenStreetMap, Google APIs, web scraping) with deduplication, quality scoring, and audit trails
- Implemented Swiss regulatory compliance (FADP/GDPR, AHV, IBAN, cantonal tax rules) as system-wide constraints enforced across all agent output
- Designed CI/CD infrastructure, staging/production isolation, and rollback-safe migration workflows
- Created TeamOps (tmops) — an open-source, npm-published framework for multi-instance AI orchestration with checkpoint-based communication, test-driven workflows, and quality gates
