LLM-powered real-time analysis of social media posts with brand mentions — sentiment analysis and trend identification, served through a modern React front end.
Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring
AI use caseSolution Architect · a global intralogistics automation leader — built on the commissioning platform from my architect years
Predictive maintenance on real machine data from live production: the commissioning platform doubles as the data-acquisition layer, capturing operating states, events and usage via proprietary industrial telegram protocols — feeding early shuttle-wear detection, adaptive service planning and anomaly identification.
M365 Copilot & Custom Agents
ConsultingSolution Consultant · the world market leader in digital psychological assessment
AI-assisted automation for support, sales and software development — M365 Copilot rollout plus custom agents in the Dynamics 365 ecosystem.

The umbrella platform used to commission every one of the client's intralogistics projects — live in the distribution centers of some of Europe's biggest grocery and drugstore retailers. Covers PLC communication layers up to the Angular front end, plus a tablet-based test-bench component that exercises warehouse machinery at configurable intervals, like a vehicle test bench for automation hardware.
Tennis Match Intelligence
125 daysSenior Software Engineer · an innovative sports-tech company
Court-to-app tennis analytics: an on-court capture device (Raspberry Pi CM4, TPM 2.0 identity, Yocto OS with A/B OTA updates), a containerized computer-vision pipeline on Azure Batch turning dual-camera footage into spatial match data, and ML statistics & highlights in a consumer app.
Sensor Analytics Private Cloud
ConceptSoftware Architect · an Austrian sensor & AI startup
Private-cloud architecture for ingesting and ML-processing continuous sensor streams: edge gateways with local buffering, message-broker pipelines, an ML processing stage, a modular-monolith core and fully code-managed infrastructure with CI/CD.
