How an AI solutions architect helps shape the future of Expleo with the power of AI
“AI is going to become important everywhere – and at Expleo I get to work on it directly.”
When Christopher Foerster talks about his professional journey, it quickly becomes clear: he is someone who combines technical curiosity and academic depth with a passion for innovative solutions. He has been part of the Expleo team in Germany for two years and now works on topics that are becoming increasingly critical across a wide range of industries.
A technical path that led into the world of AI
Christopher holds a master’s degree in electrical engineering with a specialisation in reinforcement learning – a method in which AI systems improve their decision-making through trial and error. This expertise is increasingly important in the development of modern Large Language Models (LLMs), where reinforcement learning helps to build advanced reasoning capabilities and significantly enhances performance on complex tasks such as programming.
“The exciting thing,” Christopher explains, “is that the same core principles are now being used, in a slightly modified form, to power the reasoning of modern large language models.”
What was once experimental is now central to the current AI revolution – and this blend of research and real-world application defines his work at Expleo.
Why Expleo? Variety, impact and a unique opportunity for AI talent
When asked what makes Expleo especially appealing for new talent, Christopher is clear:
“We work across so many different industries. That gives us the potential to bring AI into a broad range of sectors – and that makes the work incredibly exciting.”
Expleo supports clients in sectors such as:
- Automotive & mobility
- Public sector
- Banking, financial services and insurance
- Retail and logistics
- Life sciences, and many more
This diversity is a major attraction for him:
“When we play to our strengths, we can have a significant influence on how AI is used”
Working on the most important technologies of the future
Christopher is deeply involved in the world of AI agents, automation and intelligent systems. What excites him most is how quickly the field is evolving. And how much freedom there is at Expleo to experiment and try new things:
“We’re driving a lot of exciting topics forward – AI agents in particular are becoming hugely important. We’re already using coding agents productively. There’s an enormous amount to learn here.”
For him, that means:
- working daily on tangible, real-world challenges
- creating solutions that genuinely move companies forward
- and growing both professionally and personally
“Here I have the opportunity to develop significantly – technically and personally – and to actively shape the AI landscape in Germany.”
Team spirit, a learning culture and space for innovation
Christopher describes Expleo’s culture as open, supportive and full of opportunities. New colleagues quickly become part of projects and can bring their ideas to the table. There is also a strong learning culture – with knowledge exchange, regular sessions and room to experiment.
“What I especially appreciate is the combination of technical depth and collaborative exchange. You’re constantly learning, and you’re doing it together.”
