Hey, I'm Philipp,
your AI consultant and software engineer
AI pipelines, automations and tailored CRM, ERP and HR systems - built for your day-to-day business, not for a slick demo.
Where I have delivered projects










2017 - 2026
Building intelligent systems and software with clarity, rigor, and speed
I'm a freelance AI consultant and software engineer based in Prague, working remotely with startups, SMEs and enterprises across Europe and North America. I design and ship LLM-powered products end-to-end - agentic systems, RAG architectures and multimodal GenAI - backed by solid full-stack engineering and a strong testing and automation background. I care about correctness, reliability and user experience as much as the final result.
From first prototype to enterprise rollout
Startups
A working AI product in weeks, not quarters: fast iterations, a pragmatic stack and code you own from day one.
SMEs & mid-sized companies
AI for businesses without a data-science department: scoped pilots that pay back, tied into the systems you already run.
Enterprises
At home with procurement, NDAs, security reviews and on-prem or EU-hosted deployment - I have built and led AI platforms inside corporations.
Remote, in English and German - across Europe and the DACH region as well as the US and Canada.
The path so far

Selected highlights

Marketing AI Platform
One AI platform built solely for marketing: text, image and video generation for Amazon listings, web copy, social posts, ads and blogs, grounded in brand guidelines and company knowledge, with several AI providers and the CMS and DAM under one roof.
What I can help you build
AI pipelines, automations and agents that run in your day-to-day business - not an MVP that looks good in the demo and falls apart a week later.
- Five-plus years across full-stack, backend, QA, test automation and AI. I know the stack from the ground up, which is what it takes to debug and fix the things that only break once a system meets real data and real load.
- Production-ready from the start: proper architecture and infrastructure behind the automation, not a prototype dressed up as a product.
- I studied business engineering and worked alongside marketing, sales, service and support. I judge a use case on whether automating it actually pays off - and if it does not, I will say so before you spend anything on development.
- Low-code automations in n8n where that is genuinely the right tool, and full applications in Python or Node.js/TypeScript with React where it is not.
- Local and frontier models, chosen for your specific use case - weighed between data privacy, cost and quality.
- A QA background, so quality and testing are part of the build rather than something bolted on at the end.
How we work
- 01A 30-minute call about your use case, with honest feedback on what is currently possible and whether AI can deliver the results you are hoping for.
- 02One day going through your internal processes with you.
- 03I draft an AI strategy, an implementation plan and a schedule, at a fixed price of €1,890.
- 04You are free to implement it yourself from there, or hire me to do it.
- 05Implementation is billed by the hour, against an estimated range agreed up front.
- 06Once it is live and signed off, three months of support are included if something breaks in production. New features are a follow-up project.
AI has running costs, like any utility. Automations call paid APIs on every run - there is no free allowance the way there is with consumer chatbots, where you pay with your data instead. Usage is billed at cost plus a 10% handling fee, or you bring your own API keys and I work against those. I can also build usage tracking into your application so you can see what you are spending before the bill arrives.
Tools I reach for every day
A pragmatic stack for shipping AI products end-to-end - from the first idea to running in production.
Questions I get before a project
Classic AI consulting stops at a slide deck: use cases, a roadmap, a vendor shortlist. I do that part too - which model, which retrieval strategy, build or buy, how to evaluate and operate it - but then I build the system and put it into production. The background makes the difference: I'm an industrial engineer by training and spent 5+ years as a software engineer before AI became my focus, so I know both worlds - the business case and the codebase - and ship production software to a professional standard, not demos. One person from strategy to running code, no hand-off.
