Building AI Software for Fun and Profit

As of mid-2023, I’m embarking on an exciting journey with my best friend Fabian (whom I've known for over 15 years): After successfully selling our AI video-cutting software, 10levelup, to a US marketing company, we're channeling those funds into creating the top AI consulting firm for the German-speaking SMB market (beansandbytes - beans as in "we are fueled by too much coffee"). Along the way, we'll be churning out SaaS software, because why not?

I specialize in translating complex engineering challenges into high-impact, scalable infrastructure that drives business value. My experience includes leading teams and getting hands-on with Golang, Terraform, AWS, Linux servers (shoutout to Hetzner), and Google Cloud.

However, I believe that the best technology always depends on the problem at hand. As a friend of mine once said, "Simon, you're not just a programmer; you're a steam engine rolling over problems." I tend to operate by the mantra: "strong opinions, loosely held."

This is me (in 2023):
