About

Engineer, based in Vienna.

I build full-stack products and applied AI systems. Most of what I have shipped started out as somebody doing a job by hand: checking schematics against equipment lists, typing criminal records into spreadsheets, chasing compliance documents around a company. Then it became software that does the job instead.

How I work

The interesting part of a project is usually not the framework. It is working out how an ERP should model military logistics, or how a routing engine should score a path against wind and current, or what a compliance document is really claiming about the data behind it. Get that wrong and no amount of frontend polish helps.

A lot of my experience comes from hackathons, which teach you to decide quickly what does not need to be built. That habit is useful well beyond a weekend deadline. The rest comes from client and internal work, where you have more time but the code has to keep working after you hand it over.

I tend to reach for boring, well understood tools and spend the time I save on whatever is specific to the problem. Smaller and finished beats bigger and nearly there.

What I do

Full-stack product engineering

Schema design, API surface and the frontend on top. I am comfortable owning a feature from migration through to deployment, and turning a product requirement into a spec someone else can build from.

Applied AI and machine learning

Agentic architectures, custom OCR pipelines and route optimisation under real environmental constraints. Python, PyTorch, and local models when the data is not allowed to leave the building.

DevOps and infrastructure

CI/CD, containerisation and self-hosted deployment. I moved a company off SVN onto GitLab and built the pipelines that replaced it.

Experience

Aug 2026 - Sep 2026

Software & Product Engineer

Lodo Technologies, London

Designing and building agentic architectures and AI agent systems, and turning product requirements into technical specifications and roadmaps. I also lead market research, which means planning and running user interviews to check the product is going somewhere useful, and I look after DevOps, infrastructure and the CI/CD pipelines.

Nov 2024 - Present

Software Engineer

Art 4 Art Theaterservice, hybrid

Setting up DevOps infrastructure and building a web client to gradually replace the legacy Java one. I migrated the company from SVN to GitLab and built the pipelines around it. Java, Docker, Next.js, React, Node.

Software Engineering Intern

Art for Art Theaterservice GmbH, Vienna

Joined the internal dev team to work on prototypes and internal tooling. I built a working web based school schedule prototype for the Ballet Academy in Next.js against their existing backend, and extended their BIRT report templates. I presented the results to the VP of Engineering and the changes went to production before the internship ended.
