FINANCE × AI × REAL-WORLD IMPACT

AI, built for
the real world.

I’m Nils, an AI architect and hands-on builder. From bank-scale GenAI to mortgage review workflows, I turn complex financial problems into AI people can actually use.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Led by curiosity. Grounded in building.

LinkedIn

From chemistry labs in Taiwan to research and industry in Germany, then into financial technology. I’m drawn to problems between disciplines, and technology that makes people’s work better.

Now Head of AI at AAA Lendings. Previously, I led CathayGPT, AI Coach, and overseas AI Agent platforms in banking, connecting architecture, governance, and real adoption.

How I think about the work

The Bitter Lesson

Scale and compute win. I build systems that leverage foundation models rather than fight them.

Platform-First

One-off solutions don't survive. I design for reuse, governance, and team autonomy from day one.

Evaluation-Driven

If you can't measure it, you can't ship it. Rigorous evaluation is the foundation of every project I touch.

Six patents, rooted in real problems.LLM application architecture · Sole inventor
M670472

Financial Investment Advice Generation System

LLMs produced unstructured, unauditable investment recommendations. This patent enforces structured output that meets financial compliance requirements.

M671161

Intelligent Optimization System

Enterprise prompts were managed ad-hoc with no versioning. This patent establishes a version-controlled prompt optimization mechanism.

M671223

Information Query System

Traditional keyword search fails on unstructured enterprise documents. This patent introduces a semantic retrieval architecture for accurate information access.

M671449

Customizable Generative AI System

Different bank departments needed custom AI behaviors on the same underlying model. This patent solves the multi-scenario deployment scaling problem.

Invention Patent Pending
M674713

Data Query System

Cross-system data queries were fragmented and costly to integrate. This patent provides a unified query interface to reduce engineering overhead.

M676680

Knowledge Graph Construction System

Unstructured enterprise knowledge was inaccessible to AI systems. This patent builds a reasoning-capable knowledge structure so AI genuinely understands business context.

Invention Patent Pending
