Alexander Pfyffer is a founder and self-taught software engineer with nine years of experience building AI-driven products at the intersection of circular economy and consumer tech. He co-founded VAY (acquired by Nautilus in 2021) and now leads Wonderfill, bringing product-focused engineering and go-to-market experience to early-stage ventures. His work spans mobile (React Native), computer vision, VR, and deep learning—highlighted by an LSTM that can identify cerebral palsy symptoms from motion-capture data and an AI fitness coach shipped on iOS and Android. With a summa cum laude master's in Business Administration and a computer science minor from Universität Zürich, he blends business strategy with hands-on ML engineering. Less obvious: he has taught and automated components of a university deep learning course, showing an aptitude for translating research into scalable teaching and product systems. Based in Zurich, he focuses on practical AI solutions that enable circular, health, and immersive experiences.
