• Implementation of stable, high-performance communication and data flows in a cloud-native platform architecture
• Processing of structured data formats (JSON, Protobuf, GraphQL schemas) based on existing API patterns
• Performance optimization of distributed microservices with reduced response times and higher operational stability
• Technical tests (unit, integration, and API tests) as well as error analysis in production-like environments
• AWS Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and AWS CDK
• CI/CD automation (build, test, and deployment pipelines) with GitHub Actions
• AI-supported feature implementation (GitHub Copilot Agent)

Manufacturing intelligence platform with enterprise workflows, RAG, real-time AI assistant features, and multi-repository backend architecture.

• Built and extended production AI/backend services with Django, DRF, FastAPI, GraphQL, Celery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and WebSockets across a modular multi-repository platform.
• Contributed to ARIS V2, a real-time manufacturing AI assistant using LangChain, LangGraph, MCP tool orchestration, planning/execution flows, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Qdrant, and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch-backed retrieval.
• Supported rollout expansion from ARIS V1 in 4 of 17 client production plants to ARIS V2 currently active in 13 of 17 plants, increasing real-world deployment coverage to more than 50% of the client footprint.
• Worked on document-grounded RAG functionality including ingestion, OCR, chunking, embeddings, indexing, retrieval, reranking, and grounded answer generation for industrial workflows.

Stack: Python, Django, DRF, FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph, GraphQL, Celery, WebSockets, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Qdrant, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Docker.

• DTO class generator: In-house development of a tool for the automatic generation of classes, functions, and methods for use in .NET Core projects based on SAP Business One Service Layer metadata
• E-invoice import add-on: Development of a SAP Business One add-on / coresuite module for the automated import of ZUGFeRD e-invoices as incoming invoices – with configurable mapping to flexibly control the import logic across four mapping types (DIRECT, SQL, FIXED, EXPR). The add-on is available as a licensed product for SAP Business One customers.

Stack: SAP Business One, SAP Business One Service Layer, coresuite Country Package, C#

• Complete greenfield rebuild across the whole stack — built AI-native: backend in Go and NestJS, PostgreSQL (CNPG) on K3s with GitOps/Terraform; frontend on Angular 22, zoneless.
• Orchestrated coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor) across the entire lifecycle — architecture, implementation, testing, reviews, documentation — driven by Specification-Driven Development (SDD).
• “Bruno” — LLM commentator persona backed by RAG and MCP for a personality that stays consistent across all generations (match previews, post-match reports, his own virtual bets).

• Architected and deployed end-to-end machine learning pipelines across classification and prediction datasets, ensuring robustness and reproducibility through MLOps best practices.
• Contributed directly to LLM model output accuracy improvement by designing and engineering specialised prompts grounded in end-to-end ML and SciML pipeline logic.
• Developed training data for large language models by formulating coding problems that models could not resolve and subsequently documenting the correct solutions.

Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research

Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.

Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.

Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods

As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.
