Software engineer turned engineering lead. I build software, and lately agents, that keep factories running.
At AUMOVIO my group writes the software that watches automotive production lines, works around disruptions and helps fix things when they break. Before that I spent years on distributed data systems, and before that on JVM internals and Linux, pretty close to the hardware.
Group Lead, Software Factory
AUMOVIO (formerly Continental) · since 2022
My group owns software for automotive production and the platform underneath it: CI/CD, cloud-native delivery and developer tooling.
Agentic systems for production
Multi-agent, built on MCP
The agents I build watch real production. They keep an eye on IT and shop-floor systems, replan when a supply goes missing, and dig through logs and metrics when something breaks. Say a station keeps running dry and everyone blames the robots. The actual cause turns out to be clock skew, which has the AGV fleet delivering parts in the wrong order. That's the kind of thing they should find.
