About

{ who I am }

I’m Mario, an AI engineer from Basel. I build AI solutions that make everyday work easier, from privacy‑first assistants and knowledge systems to computer vision.

Mario Lenzin
Mario Lenzin · Basel

Currently AI Solution Engineer at Megasol Energie AG, after completing my BSc in Artificial Intelligence (Business AI) at FHNW. My focus is turning ideas into robust, privacy‑first products, with models hosted in Switzerland whenever data must stay in the country. Outside of work I’m an endurance athlete: Ironman finisher and Swisspeaks 100‑mile finisher.
