Hello, I’m Andre.

When someone tells me about a problem, I listen first and think it through. I like it when something gets easier for someone. I come from infrastructure. At home I like trying out how assistants can adapt to people.

Always Debugging Human Dynamics.

Where I come from

It started in 2008 with quality assurance and systems administration. Telephony and integration took me to DevOps, Kubernetes and cloud platforms. Today, in my job at a large enterprise, I design solutions for Azure and help bring AI into engineering. That includes a workflow from story to pull request and an onboarding portal.

What I’m interested in

With AI I can try out ideas that had been lying around for a long time. I can go through thoughts with an assistant without everything being judged straight away. I want to develop that assistant further, so it adapts to the person using it. And so it checks when it doesn’t know something.

How I work

Before an agent takes on work, I narrow the task down and write the rules. With tests and written decisions I can trace later where something went wrong. When my approach doesn’t work, I change it.

My approach and its limits

Outside work

I have two kids. I’m building PenPop for my son, a drawing app for Android tablets with a stylus. It’s still private and in progress. Apart from that I listen to music and play games.

If you’d like to talk about any of this, feel free to write.
