Caly.ch — Eric’s AI-Boosted Learning Journey

Eric Hugi

I like turning chaos into structure.
Unclear needs, scattered ideas, broken workflows and competing priorities are where I learn the most — especially when business expectations and technical realities need to be aligned.

I enjoy situations where different stakeholders need to find a common understanding: business teams, technical experts, users, management and external partners. My role is often to clarify needs, structure information, translate complexity and help move topics forward.

Caly.ch

Caly.ch is my personal Learning Journey: a knowledge base where I structure what I learn through trainings, readings, research and professional experience.

It is also a technical experiment. Articles, charts and illustrations are generated with the help of AI, then orchestrated through automated workflows built with Power Automate.

At this stage, Caly.ch is not a commercial service offering. It documents my professional evolution and makes visible the skills I am developing.
