Summary

Co-Founder of Cileria GmbH, a Berlin-based agency building AI-powered, full-stack digital products for companies across Europe and Latin America.

With 7+ years of experience, I specialize in TypeScript-driven full-stack development, AI automation systems, and scalable web applications—taking ideas from concept to production. My daily work spans technical architecture, backend/frontend development, cloud deployment, and integrating cutting-edge AI into real-world workflows.

At Cileria, I lead the design and development of:

  • React / Next.js / Astro frontends
  • Node.js (TypeScript) / .NET / Python APIs
  • Custom AI agents and LLM workflows (OpenAI, Ollama, LangChain)
  • Prompt engineering and agentic architectures
  • Web crawlers, chatbots, and task automation
  • GDPR-compliant deployments with Docker, GitHub Actions & Azure

At Cileria I also do all the project management.

My AI expertise includes:

  • Prompt engineering for precision and reliability
  • Building agentic systems with LangChain and MCP standards
  • Integrating LM Studio in server mode for local inference
  • Automation with n8n for multi-system orchestration

I’m the founder of ReactArchitect.ai.

Our tool helps developers visualize and document React and Next.js projects in minutes. It generates component diagrams, documentation, and summaries automatically with AI. From props flow to node packages, every detail of your app is mapped and explained. Clean, modular, and scalable projects—built with the clarity of real architecture.

My goal is always to deliver systems that perform, scale, and truly improve workflows, blending robust engineering with thoughtful UX. Starting my career as a QA engineer and tech support specialist, I bring a user-centric and practical mindset to every product I build.
