Who's building this

I got into IT in 2015, through an IT apprenticeship at BBRZ in Vienna. Then iOS developer at Tailored Apps: App Store apps for brands every Austrian knows.

2019, my own company. Co-founded RocketWM and ran it for almost four years: hiring, pricing, delivery and a lot of websites.

Then corporate IT. First an international paper trading group, a webshop relaunch with external development partners. Then Austrian Post, IT projects across the branch network, from the first requirement to handover into operations. That is where I ran public tenders from the buyer side: I was the one rating the vendors.

None of that involved AI.

That part happened in the evenings. I taught myself AI and the dev skills that go with it: evening after evening, weekend after weekend, prototype after prototype. (You can still see it: more than half my commits land between Friday and Sunday, most of them after dark.)

At some point the job no longer matched what had started as a side thing. Early 2026 we parted on good terms. With no plan for what came next.

I went to events and hackathons and found people who tick the same way. Today I work in exactly the field that pulled me in.

At AI Factory Austria I lead the venture studio and a weekly build session series. My own things keep running next to it: the tool, the products, the writing.

The agents write, test and review. I am the final quality judge and check whether it holds up in reality. They work in parallel, and when I hesitate, I become the bottleneck myself.
