Working on

Since Mar 2026

Applied AI, full time. Retrieval that has to stay current, and agents whose behaviour has to be checkable rather than taken on trust. Who I do it for, and on what, is withheld until I have checked what I am allowed to say.

Studying

JKU Linz

I finished my BSc in Artificial Intelligence at JKU Linz ahead of the standard duration, with a thesis on deep learning for language-based audio retrieval.

The learning that is still happening happens in public, in three repositories I keep pushing to:

  • TempBench

    whether audio-language models can answer trivial questions about event order and timing

  • Tython

    a statically typed toy language, its standard library and its toolchain

  • nanoBeard

    a small language model trained from scratch, then supervised fine-tuned

Teaching

Dec 2024 – Feb 2026

I taught AI programmes at several coding schools as a freelancer. LLMs, multi-modal models, frontend development. That run ended in February 2026 when I went full time, and I am not teaching a cohort at the moment. I liked it and would do it again.
