Summary
Stephan Schulz is a Senior AI Engineer based in Berlin with two decades of experience designing and operating production web and mobile systems, now focused on building reliable, maintainable AI systems at scale. He specializes in LLM pipelines with structured outputs, retrieval-augmented architectures, and distributed execution patterns that prioritize observable execution models and clear system boundaries. His work spans hands-on cloud infrastructure (Terraform, AWS), queue-based orchestration, and cost-control strategies for LLM workloads, proven by running real user-facing AI products and an AI microlearning platform. Stephan’s career also includes deep expertise in mobile and embedded clients—shipping large Flutter and iOS apps—and building fault-tolerant, high-throughput systems such as a trading engine that ran for months without crashes. He combines systems thinking and clean architecture with a calm, mentorship-oriented approach, often leaning toward long-term impact over short-term fixes. Outside engineering, he hosts a monthly meetup on MBTI and personal development, reflecting an unusual blend of technical rigor and curiosity about human behavior.
