About me

I'm an AI/ML 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.

What I Do

  • 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.

Beyond Code

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.

Education

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).
