Agentic AI & CTO as a Service

AI agents that do real work. And a CTO who keeps the whole picture in view.

„I build AI agents straight into your workflows — ready to run, not a slide deck with recommendations."

I don't talk about agents — I build them.

  • OpenApe

    A complete open-source ecosystem for AI agents — from sign-in and delegation through spawning new agents and scheduled execution to ongoing runtime.

  • Production Claude Code workflows

    AI agents that build software on their own under a strict quality setup — TypeScript, ESLint, automated tests.

  • Guest lecture at TU Graz

    „AI in Agile Software Development“ — a live agent demo in front of students.

  • C-level track record

    Technical leadership across several companies — owned, not advised.

Trusted by partners & clients

There's a gap between hype and reality.

The AI consulting market is split in two — strategy consultants deliver polished slides but never a working system; junior tool users build without systems understanding or accountability. What's missing is both, in one place.

That's exactly what I combine

Agentic AI

Agents truly built into your systems — until they measurably take over work.

CTO as a Service

Technical leadership with hands-on depth, judged by the result.

Three steps with a low entry point.

  1. Entry point

    Agentic Development Audit

    3 days · fixed price

    Where do agents create real leverage in your processes — and where don't they? You get a prioritized roadmap and a working, presentable example, built on your own systems.

  2. Pilot

    4–8 weeks · fixed scope

    One clearly defined use case, until it truly runs in your operation. Not an open-ended project — a finished result.

  3. Fractional CTO / Retainer

    ongoing

    Technical leadership and agent architecture as reliable support — without a full-time hire.

A particularly good fit if …

  • … you lead a software or product team and want to bring agents into your development.
  • … you have a concrete process that can be automated — instead of „something with AI“.
  • … you're a managing director or CTO who needs a sparring partner with real hands-on depth.
