01 /Bernhard Götzendorfer · AI builder based in Vienna

10 years in IT, 4 of those running my own company.

100+ AI prototypes built hands-on. I design and build with AI, and pass on what works for me and my clients.

Background

I build AI prototypes with the tools I use myself every day. Vienna as a base, selective engagements as the format. What I pass on has first proven itself with me or with clients.

Before that: Austrian Post AG (01/2024 to 02/2026, IT project management in the branch network). My own GmbH RocketWM (04/2019 to 12/2022, 400+ websites, team of four to five). Europapier Austria (2023, international webshop relaunch across 11 countries, 16 websites, 8 webshops). Started in IT in 2015 at BBRZ Vienna.

Since late 2024, a daily focus on LLMs, multi-agent architectures, and rapid prototyping. 100+ AI prototypes, 10,000+ AI Engineering Sessions, 15,000+ commits across 66+ repositories. In April 2026, first place at the BitGN PAC Hackathon Vienna, solo, 79 out of 104 points, 3 hours on-site. EU AI Act certified. I work in German and English and prefer engagements with clean handover, documentation, and training.

Risk Mitigation for Solo Engagements

Solo engagement does not mean solo risk. Three structural safeguards are contractually anchored from the start.

Code in Your Repo from Day 1

You retain control over every commit. No vendor lock-in, no code escrow required.

Contractually secured before the project starts.

Documented Hand-off from Sprint 1

ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and a runbook are created from the first sprint. Your team can take over or move to operations at any point.

Hand-off-First, not Hand-off-Last.

Network Backup on Absence

Should I become unavailable at short notice, a structured handover protocol via documented ADRs and the AI Factory Austria network provides capacity backup.

Solo positioning, but not solo risk.

AI Factory Austria

Since 05/2026 also active as Venture Builder at AI Factory Austria. AI Factory Austria is an initiative to scale AI applications in Austrian mid-market companies. My engagement there complements the solo consulting with institutional network and capacity backing.

Availability: selective AI engagements. I discuss requests personally.
