About me

I'm a software engineer based in Vienna, focused on AI, full-stack development, and product design. I work at the intersection of natural language, code generation, and user interfaces — building systems that make complex technology accessible and useful.

Professionally I work on applied AI in the Austrian public sector: on-premise large language models for secure translation workflows, and RAG systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agentic AI in government applications. I also volunteer as an AI Ambassador for the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence (ASAI) and the Bundeswettbewerb Künstliche Intelligenz (BWKI), where I support the next generation of practitioners and help promote AI in education.

On the side I build and ship open-source tools. I created the data.gv.at MCP server so AI assistants like Claude and Cursor can search and use Austria's open government data (60,000+ datasets) via semantic search. I also co-developed Synth UI — an open-source approach to generative UI that turns natural language into React components — which was awarded at BWKI 2024.

Build AI-powered applications, generative UI, and MCP-based tools.

Design and maintain prompt pipelines and secure LLM infrastructure.

Work with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and modern AI stacks.

I'm into chess, open-source, and exploring new tech. I like talking about AI, software architecture, and how automation is changing the way we build products.

BSc Artificial Intelligence at Johannes Kepler University Linz (2025–2028). Engineer's degree in Computer Software Engineering at HTL Donaustadt, Vienna (2020–2025, grade 1.7).
