Interdisciplinary AI consulting for research institutes, public sector, and small-to-medium enterprises. No slides, no lock-in, no nonsense — prototype in 2 weeks, production in 8.
AI is the first technology where the engineering isn't the hard part — understanding is.
The models are here. APIs, open weights, off-the-shelf frameworks — the technical bar has never been lower. The real work has shifted. Which question should I actually ask? Which data do I know? What is the system allowed to do, and what not? What counts as "good enough"?
I work at that seam — between domain and model, between research and production. PhD in Cognitive Systems from the University of Bamberg, fifteen years in interdisciplinary teams, and still with the editor open.
If you want a consultant who writes what he's talking about — and stops when the job is done — you're in the right place.
Where does AI pay off in your organisation — and where doesn't it? Technical due diligence, risk assessment, prioritisation. The deliverable: a 20-page paper your board can actually read.
From proof-of-concept to production. RAG pipelines, agent systems, fine-tuning. I write the code too — not just the concept.
Grant proposals, consortium projects, scientific evaluation. BMBF, Horizon Europe, Bavarian Research Foundation — I know the scene.
For teams that need to understand AI, not just use it. Hands-on, on your stack, with your data. No canned slide decks.
Lead AI Developer for a Cognia-accredited online school (ages 4 – 12, worldwide). Adaptive learning paths, real-time progress tracking, data-driven personalised curricula.
Browser extension with local ML for real-time disinformation detection. Finalist, International Award for Innovation in Journalism 2024. Media Lab Bayern · WPK Innovation Fund.
AI-driven clinical decision support system for real-time laboratory diagnostics, deployed across 1,500+ hospital beds at University Hospital Leipzig. Co-first author, JMIR Medical Informatics.
Two half-days on-site. No slides. I ask, you talk — about the data, the problem, the people who work with it. The outcome: a list of possible entry points, sorted by effort and impact.
I build the smallest possible end-to-end slice — real data, real code, real UI. No wireframes, no Figma click-dummies. The outcome: something that runs, that you can touch.
Evaluation, edge cases, security, monitoring. The prototype becomes a system. Here is where demo separates from production — and where I'm most useful.
Documentation, handover workshops, 3 months of standby. My goal is for you not to need me any more. No lock-in, no dependency — just a team that can now do it themselves.
§ 05 — First call
You describe your topic, I tell you whether AI is the right path for it — and whether I'm the right partner. No sales pitch, no slides. If it fits, we build. If not, you've had 30 minutes with someone who knows the field.
