Engineering Leadership · AI-Native Software Development · Cloud & Developer Platforms
I spent 16 years building software systems and production platforms, including 13 years at Mercedes-Benz. More recently I have been exploring what happens when coding agents make implementation dramatically faster, and what engineering organizations need to change when code is no longer the main constraint.
Selected Work
Persistent multi-agent engineering teams
A cross-platform developer application for supervising Claude Code, Codex and Gemini across multiple projects and persistent agent teams. The project explored durable agent roles, cross-agent coordination, context recovery, worker health, and what happens when human attention becomes the limiting resource.
AI-native chess engine with independently verified superhuman playing strength
A UCI chess engine built primarily through coding agents, with human ownership of architecture, experimentation, evaluation and release decisions. Its ~3570 Elo rating on the CCRL Blitz list is an external measurement of the result, not a subjective demo claim.
Writing
Essay
What more than a decade of enterprise platform delivery and eight weeks of running AI agent teams at home taught me about where software organizations break next.
About
I am a computer scientist and engineering leader based in Germany. Before leaving Mercedes-Benz in 2026, I spent thirteen years building and leading cloud, backend and API platforms across Mercedes-Benz Vans and Mercedes-Benz Digital.
My current focus is AI-native software engineering: what coding agents can implement, and how faster implementation changes the way engineering organizations lead, decide and evaluate. More →
