Hatz.

Software engineer. Building apps for people — and, lately, thinking a lot about runtimes, AI, and what writing software becomes next.

I'm a software engineer who likes building things that real people end up using. Most of my attention right now is on Planda Portal — and, in parallel, on AI and where software development is heading next.

The medium is changing. I think that's good. I'd rather build inside that change than around it.

Notes, occasionally.

Field reports on software, AI-paradigms, public transport, and the planning system — written when an idea earns the time.

Say hello.

If something here resonates — work, runtimes, AI, the planning system, or just building — I'm easy to reach.
