CTO & Founder of AI Nights · Head of Engineering

AI for engineering teams
and tech companies.

Many teams already use AI. Few have a clear path from experimentation to faster development, more reliable releases and sustainable results. I help engineering teams turn AI from an experiment into a production-ready way of working – with clear processes, reliable standards and software that stays maintainable long-term.

How I move you and your team forward

From AI-generated MVPs to team enablement, workshops and keynotes: clear standards, clean architecture and production-ready software instead of proof-of-concepts that never ship.

01

Team Enablement

Your team adopts AI-assisted engineering the right way – with shared standards, review gates and tests across the whole SDLC. Lone Copilot users become a team that integrates AI reliably.
02

AI MVP → Production

An AI MVP convinced everyone, but nobody dares to ship it? I take over vibe-coded prototypes and make them stable, tested and maintainable in production – and ship them.
03

Talks & Keynotes

Keynotes and tech talks that make AI-assisted engineering tangible – without hype, without jargon. For engineering events, leadership offsites and conferences.
04

Event Moderation

AI, tech & corporate events hosted with confidence and entertainment value. Energy, charm and real engineering understanding on stage.
05

Consulting & Architecture

Code reviews, scalable architecture, CI/CD and engineering sparring at eye level – hands-on with your developers, not slides from a distance.
06

Workflow Automation with n8n

Automate recurring tasks with n8n, LLMs & tool-calling – GDPR-compliant and in weeks, not months.
AI Nights

Founder & Host of AI Nights

AI Nights grew out of the idea of creating a space for honest exchange, real questions and different perspectives – no pitch, no marketing talk, just practice. It's the largest regular AI afterwork networking event in the Nuremberg metro region: short talks, live demos, real tools.

  • Initiator, host & CTO of AI Nights
  • Quarterly in Nuremberg, Erlangen & Munich
  • Plus an annual AI Nights Summit
  • Network of developers, decision-makers & AI enthusiasts

Principles

AI amplifies what's already there.

I've spent ten years shipping code into production, not onto slides. AI doesn't change that fundamentally – it amplifies what a team is already good at. A strong team gets faster with AI. A messy team gets messy faster.

AI doesn't change that fundamentally. It only shifts where the work is: less typing, more deciding, reviewing and owning outcomes. Speed without judgment is waste, not progress.

I'm not the consultant who disappears after the workshop. I speak early and clearly – even when an idea isn't (yet) production-ready. An uncomfortable truth today beats a failed release in three months.

In the end, only one thing matters to me: that the bar is higher when I leave than it was when I arrived.

Good to know

What CTOs and engineering leads often ask before working together

How fast do we see results?

The first effects – clear standards, first review gates, a measured baseline – usually show within the first 2–4 weeks. Measurable KPI improvements (throughput, change-failure-rate) typically follow after 60–90 days of embedded mentoring.

Remote, hybrid or on-site?

Both are possible – many mentoring formats run remote and embedded into your existing rituals, while workshops and keynotes are often on-site. We tailor this to your team and event.

What team size does this make sense for?

From a single squad (4–6 people) to a whole engineering organization. What matters isn’t size, but wanting to use AI systematically instead of randomly.

Do you also take over our existing AI MVPs?

Yes – that’s one of my core services. I take over existing vibe-coded prototypes, stabilize them with tests, security and CI/CD, and ship them production-ready.

Training in German and English?

Yes, both languages are possible – even mixed, depending on how your team is set up.

Can training be subsidized?

In many cases, yes, depending on your region and funding program. Ask me about it during the intro call and we’ll figure out what applies to you.

Ready for your team to ship more – reliably?
