Building Awesome Things — 25 years at the intersection of Voice, Language & AI

About me

Freelance Developer based in Munich, Germany. Building AI prototypes and automations with LLMs, n8n, and Node.js. Open source enthusiast. Two projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

25+ years at the intersection of language and technology — from Voice Interfaces and Alexa to Large Language Models and AI Automation. 40+ published Alexa Skills, including enterprise work with Alexa Smart Properties.

Today I work agent-first: AI coding agents (Claude Code) are part of my daily development workflow — not an experiment on the side.

Open to selected freelance work around LLMs, Voice and AI automation.
