What Actually Is an AI Agent?
One topic that is becoming more and more prominent is AI agents. No matter where you look, even on traditional news channels, the word “agent” seems to be popping up.…
Read moreI build software and keep improving how I work.
Hi, I’m Franz, a developer from Austria. I build websites, web apps, and mobile apps, and I keep looking for better ways to do that work.
Automation and AI agents are changing what one person can do. I use them where they take repetitive work off my plate and help me get from an idea to working software faster. Speed is only valuable, though, when it leaves room for good decisions, curiosity, and care.
That balance shapes how I build: I optimize what creates leverage, keep the process understandable, and leave room for the human parts of the work.
Whether it’s a small website or a complete product, I want to put something useful in front of real people early and keep improving it from there.
Have an idea, a process worth improving, or a product to build? Write to me, or keep reading to learn more about me.
Optimizing the right things
AI agents can take on tasks, but they do not automatically understand the context or the goal. I use them as force multipliers while keeping responsibility for important decisions where it belongs.
In practice, I:
- start with the actual problem and the smallest useful solution
- automate repeatable steps and use AI agents where they offer real leverage
- choose tools and a tech stack that keep delivery and maintenance fast
- put early versions into real conditions and improve them with feedback
- stop optimizing when further optimization would cost clarity, quality, or enjoyment
That lets me move quickly without turning the product into a black box. Good software is useful, maintainable, and pleasant to use every day.
The best process creates room for good work.
What I've built
A few projects I’m currently working on or have worked on. They show the kinds of problems I enjoy solving: making information easier to find, protecting communication, and turning ideas into useful products.

Let's build something useful
Want to test an idea, improve a process, or build a product from scratch? I’m interested in projects where thoughtful software can create real leverage without adding unnecessary complexity.
