Christian Wunderlich

I work side by side with customer and engineering teams to turn difficult business problems into production-ready AI, data, and cloud software.

Across 15+ years in technology, I have moved from discovery and architecture into hands-on full-stack implementation, iterative validation, and production rollout in complex enterprise environments. I build the services, data paths, user workflows, and infrastructure around applied AI, then turn successful delivery patterns into reusable foundations for the next engagement.
