I design, build and ship productsend to end.

Product Engineer in energy & IoT, building increasingly with AI agents that take on real parts of the loop — not just autocomplete.

Bike Assistant

Keep every part in sync

bike-assistant.com

A SaaS that auto-tracks wear on every component of your bikes from your ride data, then predicts and reminds you when parts need service — the maintenance layer Strava never had. Now in closed beta, ahead of a public MVP launch.

Watch what your friends actually recommend

linkzzee.com

An invite-only room where friends drop the videos worth watching, then rate and discuss them — one calm, hand-picked feed instead of the algorithmic slop everywhere else.

Agent-First Engineering

Where teams and agents ship together

The practical core of my diploma thesis: engineering repositories so people and AI agents can build the same product together — context delivered where agents read it, work split without collisions, every handoff and review gate made explicit. Proven on a live multi-agent SaaS build, with a rollout designed for an enterprise energy codebase.

The path so far

Work

  1. Kiwigrid · Product · Data & AI Engineering

    2023 — present · Dresden

    Energy & IoT software. Grew from data analytics into an end-to-end product engineering role — building data platforms, internal products and AI tooling, and driving the company's adoption of agentic AI — the same instinct I bring everywhere: taking on complex, ambiguous problems and turning them into systems the business relies on.

    • Became internal owner of a business-critical data & BI system, shaping it into a reliable, well-documented foundation for the company's reporting and decisions.
    • Built scalable data pipelines and models on GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow) over multi-million-row datasets, plus dashboards used across Sales, PM and Engineering.
    • Designed and prototyped internal products end-to-end — including an energy-savings calculator and an onboarding flow built through a bidirectional Figma↔code workflow with a designer.
    • Lead the company's AI enablement: ran trainings and a team workshop, and drove agentic-tooling adoption from zero to productive use.

  2. JOYNEXT · Working Student · Project Management

    2021 — 2022 · Dresden

    A year in the project management office of an automotive-software company — coordinating cross-functional delivery, tracking progress and keeping stakeholders aligned. My first close-up on how software actually ships under real-world constraints.

Education

  1. TU Dresden · Information Systems (Wirtschaftsinformatik)

    2023 — 2026 · Dresden

    Diploma thesis on integrating LLM-based agents and agent-driven workflows into existing systems — focused on the engineering practice itself: how repositories, context and team handoffs should be built so people and AI agents can ship together.

    • The practical thesis (in progress): turning a scoping-review conclusion — agentic AI is a configuration problem before an adoption problem — into an agent-first restructuring of a real enterprise codebase, so AI agents and new engineers ramp on the system instead of decoding it cold.

  2. Università degli Studi di Trieste · International Economics and Financial Markets

    Feb. — Aug. 2025 · Trieste, Italy

    An exchange semester in Italy — widening the business side into international economics and financial markets, taught in English within an all-international cohort. Building a life and studying in a new country, language and university from scratch was as much of the experience as the coursework itself.

  3. TU Dresden · Industrial Engineering (Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen)

    2019 — 2023 · Dresden

    Where it started: a combined engineering-and-business track. I deliberately switched it toward computer science, software engineering and the business of building software — that's where my curiosity and strengths kept pulling me, and it set up everything since.

03 — About

Product thinking, engineered

I'm a Product Engineer with an Information-Systems background and 3+ years in energy & IoT. I like owning a product across the whole arc — defining what to build as much as how, then carrying it through design, full-stack build and delivery. Quick to ship, deliberate where it counts, and agentic-first by default — building so people and AI agents ship the same work together. My loyalty is to the user and the outcome, not the code.

What I keep coming back to: the distance between an idea and a product that actually ships isn't closed by tools — it's closed by creativity, the willingness to dig deep, and the consistency to see it through. That's the work I want to do.

Road and cyclocross racing around Dresden Road & cyclocross racer

Off the clock I train and race around Dresden — road miles in summer, cyclocross in winter. Same instinct that drives the work: commit on the start line and chase the next result.
