AI & Machine Learning
Expertise in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Computer Vision, RAG, LLM applications, Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude. Design and implementation of AI-assisted solutions including multimodal deep-learning models, face quality pipelines, and scalable RAG proof-of-concept systems on Microsoft Azure.
Software Architecture & Engineering
Extensive background in software architecture with hands-on experience in Android/Kotlin, Java, React, three.js, Augmented Reality, MySQL, AWS, and XMPP. Leadership of modernization initiatives and large-scale software projects across multiple industries.
Agentic AI & Integration
Knowledge of SQL/data integration, MCP, tool-based LLM workflows, human-in-the-loop concepts, workflow orchestration concepts, and evaluation and observability concepts for AI systems.
Augmented Reality Development
Pioneer in geo augmented reality application development for smartphones, having developed the world's first such application and built a globally recognized AR platform (Wikitude) used by major clients including Red Bull, Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung, and Ford. Wikitude has been acquired by Qualcomm in 2021.
AR Gaming
Developed an AR Laser Tagging game together with a colleague (Roman Voglhuber): beamster.com
Edge Computing & Model Optimization
Experience in evaluating and selecting pretrained AI models for deployment in edge-computing environments, balancing model accuracy, inference speed, memory consumption, and robustness under real-world conditions.
Digital Asset Management & E-Commerce Systems
Development of digital asset management systems, B2C shop and back-office systems, and e-catalog systems using Java/J2EE, BEA Weblogic EJB, Servlets, XML, and XSL.
Financial Systems & Consulting
Development of a Credit Loss Database (Basel II) for Helaba Bank and work on content management systems for financial services clients. Experience in finance and accounting systems using COBOL and DB2.
Entrepreneurship & Product Leadership
Founded and led Wikitude as CEO until 2010 and served as Member of the Board until 2021. Secured EUR 1M investment in 2010 and guided the company to acquisition by Qualcomm in 2021, with the Wikitude SDK integrated into Snapdragon Spaces.
Museum Technology
The 'Speaking Celt' was a project developed in collaboration with the Keltenmuseum Hallein (a museum focused on Celtic history) using the Wikitude SDK. During brainstorming sessions with the museum's staff, we came up with the idea of featuring an animated 3D model of a Celt inside a display case to explain its contents. Implemented this technology for several display cases, allowing visitors to launch the Celt by installing the museum app and pointing it at a circular target image within the case. This had never been done before and received highly positive feedback from both museum visitors and research institutions.
