Kreileder

Engineering lead · Platform & AI · 25+ years

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.

What I'm doing

01Role

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.

02Building

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.
