AI Engineers in Munich

Product:

• Built a production-ready AI platform for generating brand-aware marketing images and videos from product data, user requirements, and uploaded media.
• Own the platform architecture, technical roadmap, API design, security, deployment workflow, operational reliability, and model-provider strategy.
• Developed the core platform in .NET and built supporting AI and workflow prototypes in Python, applying language-independent API contracts and structured interfaces between services and model providers.
• Implemented reliable background processing with RabbitMQ, persisted workflow state, idempotent handling, retries, failure recovery, logging, secure storage, authorization, and credit accounting.
• Made pragmatic build-versus-buy and model-routing decisions based on reliability, latency, cost, and maintainability rather than novelty.

Agent Orchestration & RAG Systems

• Built and compared agent workflows using Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, and LangChain, including tool use, conditional routing, clarification steps, state management, and hand-offs between agents.
• Implemented reusable .NET components for agents, prompts, tools, model providers, structured responses, and retrieval with pyvector, making it easier to change AI providers without rewriting the core workflow.

• Developing a model-based AI where natural language is interpreted as formal relations.
• Natural language terms are not considered rigid but fluid and can be negotiated in a context so meaning resolves by iteratively specifying.
• Develops all kinds of model solutions.
• Backed by natural language and data annotation.
• Requirements to code and other solutions.

• Building, implementing and selling automated Data Science solutions such as Scorecard Factory and Forecast Factory
• Implementation of automated end-to-end cloud processes
• Development of LLM and NLP models
• Creation of interactive reports
• Support for national and international large corporations as well as medium-sized companies in implementing ML projects

• AI Integration (LLM & RAG): Design and build of an internal intelligent RAG system (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) based on LLMs, n8n, and vector data for the automated analysis of technical documents and error logs.
• Design & Implementation: Design of a robust RS-232/UART communication interface for an SBC-based embedded device to control medical shaker systems.
• Architecture & Protocol Design: Implementation of a highly maintainable software structure (OOP, SOLID) and definition of hardware-close, resilient communication protocols including multithreading and advanced error handling.
• Quality Assurance & DevOps: Test automation using xUnit, integration tests directly on the hardware target, and maintenance of technical documentation according to strict medical technology standards via Azure DevOps.

• Migrate existing workloads and databases (IONOS → Azure, MongoDB) with integration into central MLOps workflows and internal networks.
• Extend the platform with LLM-based tools (LangChain, LangServe) to integrate GPT-based analysis modules into existing Spring Boot services for market anomaly detection and automated reports.
• Analyze and architect a software solution to process large volumes of data efficiently (>3000 messages/sec.) (market data store).
• Spring Boot / Java 21 container development with RabbitMQ for distributing stock market data via MongoDB (Kubernetes) with fast storage of data in Redis RMaps, deduplication, forwarding messages to Read Model queues, and building Read Models for UI display in MongoDB.
• Integration of RESTHeart to create a REST API for MongoDB.
• Build an Angular frontend to simplify data queries and master data maintenance.
• Agentic coding with remote and local LLMs (Claude Sonnet, Ollama Qwen) and MCP servers.
