As a seasoned software engineer with a passion for innovation, I bring a unique blend of technical interests and industry experience with me. With over two decades of hands-on experience in electronics and software engineering, I've had the privilege of working with top-tier companies like Varian (Siemens Healthineers) and Moser-Baer AG.
My journey began with an early fascination with technology, sparked by my first computer at the age of 10. Since then, I've witnessed the field evolve dramatically, with systems becoming increasingly complex. My experience has taught me that software development requires not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of user needs, requirements and business processes.
Today, as a senior software engineer, I leverage my skills to drive innovation with a special focus on the use of AI.
When I'm not working, you can find me exploring the intersection of technology, philosophy and art, always looking for ways to push boundaries and create meaningful solutions - or I might just play a game 🎮.
To truly understand how the human brain processes threats, decision-making, and emotional regulation, we must look at the brain through an evolutionary lens. Specifically, looking at the structural and functional dichotomy between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) reveals a fascinating dialogue between our ancient survival architecture and our modern cognitive machinery.
In the rapidly evolving field of AI and LLM-powered agents, the paradigm has traditionally been text-in, text-out. Models operate by generating text—summarizing, explaining, or providing structured data. While powerful, this text-only interaction often falls short when a human user requires not just information, but an interactive experience—a dashboard to filter, a form to complete, or a rich media viewer to manipulate.
I believe the future of intelligent agents must be multimodal and highly interactive. That is why I am excited to dive into the MCP Apps (Model Context Protocol Applications) extension, a ground-breaking standard that brings rich, interactive UIs directly into the conversation thread.
The self-hosted media ecosystem is constantly evolving, and the latest update, Jellyfin Version 12.0, is a significant releases in the recent history of the Web client and core functionality. 12.0 represents an overhaul, focusing on polishing the user experience, library performance, and advanced features for media organization.
AI development is not only about maximizing generative output; it is also about maximizing reliability, controllability and costs. Frontier models have excellent reasoning abilities and a huge knowledge. They are brilliant minds which can handle most problems autonomously.
But there's a price to pay (literally in 💲), as well as privacy risks and infrastructure dependency.
The S.H.O.D.A.N. project is for my personal education - but also to mitigate those risks without loosing quality. Mainly driven by my personal token consumption - which is way higher than I'm willing to pay for 😉.
Pragmata was a lot of fun - and I'll continue to play it with the new modes available now. As I enjoyed the strong narrative, Horizon was recommended to me ...
Guerrilla Games began developing Forbidden West in 2018. The development peaked at over 300 full-time employees and cost around US$212 million, making the game one of the most expensive ever to develop.
... For decades, the Dunning-Kruger effect has been understood to mean that people with low ability, those who know the least, are the most overconfident, while high performers are more realistic. Hundreds of studies have replicated the classic finding, illustrating that people who do well on multiple-choice tests overpredict their performance by less than those who do badly.
In conjunction with the adoption of generative AI and AI assisted development I had a very interesting discussion with a co-worker in my company. He is specialized to analyze bussines processes and to do management coaching. We discussed the role of AI in our SDLC, and what could/should be improve that is known in theory since quite a while.
