loading the lap…

Created a 2D racer. Then trained an AI that can’t be beaten.

Case studyRace it yourself

Glass House

It knows where you are.

The connection carried an address but no city header, so this page will not guess a town.

It knows what you're on.

Reading the machine…

It would know you again.

Deriving the signature…

Symphony

Ticket to merge requestIllustrative workflow

A ticket in, a merge request out.

Autonomous agents working sanctioned tickets, inside an estate that has to prove every change.

Every run ends at a human.

Nocturne

The agent says done.
Prove it.

A backlog that runs overnight. Ten independent checks before a task counts. An empty commit gets no free pass.

Inside the verification loop

An attempt that fails is reset and retried.

The person behind

Role
Cloud Architect × Applied AI Engineer
Based
Heidelberg / Mannheim, DE

I am 27, and when I do something I do it with full force, whether that is the gym, gaming, or building AI systems. Underneath it I am calm and reflective, more likely to think something through than react to it. Soft spot for Dobermans, chocolate, and caffeine.

How I build

In the quiet hours, headphones on, one problem in front of me.

  1. Research and planFrontier LLMs
  2. Pressure-test the concept/grill-me
  3. Implement/caveman + /ponytail
  4. Run in parallel/nocturne, my own skill

The taste shows up in the same places whether it is a system or a sound: restraint, timing, and the parts most people skip.
