Tech

Production-ready AI automation and enterprise systems are developed with a focus on reliability, security, and measurable operational impact. The portfolio includes privacy-first on-premises AI, local-first marketing agent frameworks, office automation (PowerPoint/Excel), speech-and-emotion recognition pipelines, generative media production frameworks, and edge-hosted web platform delivery. Additional milestones are documented in the Timeline.

1) AI Automation & Enterprise Delivery

  • OfferGenerator (Flask → PowerPoint): implemented, tested, and deployed on a domain network; manual offer creation was reduced from 4–5 hours to ~30 minutes (≈85–90%). More information. See demo.
  • Tender/Ausschreibung Generator (Flask → PowerPoint): designed for structured generation of BA/MSc announcements; PDF extraction, template-driven PPTX generation, and Azure/OpenAI-based text generation are integrated. Source content is derived from official PEM study pages (see: pem.rwth-aachen.de/go/id/fecr ). Automated export to network locations is supported. More information. See demo.
  • PowerPoint Add-in (C#, .NET Framework VSTO/COM): implemented, tested, and deployed on a domain network and developed as an internal productivity tool; GPT-enabled text and image generation, image analysis, and text-to-diagrams/charts workflows are provided; production deployment for staff use has been established. More information. See demo.
  • AI-based Local-First Marketing Agent Framework: conceptualized and developed as a local-first AI marketing operating system for brand workspace analysis, campaign generation, platform-specific post package preparation, media management, approval-gated publishing, simulation, analytics import, learning loops, and guarded connector workflows. The implementation combines a Next.js dashboard, FastAPI backend, Campaign Autopilot services, safe credential handling, scheduler workflows, local and stub LLM modes, YouTube OAuth publishing, TikTok and Instagram dry-run scaffolds, and Paperclip/MiroFish extension points. The verified engineering baseline includes 131 backend tests, Ruff and ESLint checks, a Next.js production build, healthy launcher and API routes, dry-run publish audit jobs, and analytics and scoring checks; final deployment-readiness tests are running before production deployment. More information. See demo.

2) Enterprise AI (Privacy-First)

  • On-Prem RAG (offline / privacy-first): retrieval-augmented generation for internal knowledge workflows; emphasis is placed on governance, operational robustness, and deployment constraints in enterprise environments. More information. See demo.

3) Generative AI Media & Commercial Production Framework

  • AIMG - Local-First AI Commercial Production Framework (06/2026): conceptualized, engineered, and deployed end to end as a local-first, cloud-ready production framework that turns a text brief and brand references into finished, quality-checked multi-scene commercials. The framework combines a Next.js/React front end, FastAPI/SSE backend, model registry and auto-discovery, ComfyUI/Diffusers/cloud adapters, FLUX/Wan/Kling/Seedance/Veo model routing, LLM-based direction, automated quality gates, MCP-based agent orchestration, production provenance, and server-side cost governance; local rendering is designed for a 12 GB GPU, including 14B video-model operation via fp8 quantization, block swapping, and distilled sampling. More information. See demo.

4) Speech & Emotion Recognition (ASR/SER) Framework

  • AI-based Development: Speech & Emotion Recognition (ASR/SER) Framework — Two Models: separate models for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) have been trained via wav2vec2 fine-tuning; both audiofile-based and real-time inference are supported; evaluation is performed via Word Error Rate (WER) and Unweighted Average Recall (UAR).
  • HPC Training (RWTH High Performance Computing): training and inference workflows of the ASR/SER models are executed on RWTH HPC (SLURM) to accommodate large-scale datasets and controlled experiments. More information. See demo.

5) Enterprise IT & System Integration (Avantis + BIC)

  • Identity & Access: Active Directory and Group Policy Objects (GPO) are administered, including groups/permissions, service accounts, and file server access control.
  • Stability & Security: WSUS patching, Sophos Endpoint Security, CommVault backups, standardized rollouts, documentation, and security awareness/testing are applied to support stable operations.
  • Site Operations: Multi-site infrastructure work has been delivered at PEM Avantis and the Battery Innovation Cluster (BIC) .

6) XR Learning Technologies (RWTH LearnTech)

  • Project Context (04/2022–10/2023): contributions were delivered within the RWTH LearnTech environment (see LearnTech), including the Unity-based xTeach VR project (see xTeach VR).
  • Spatial Audio Integration: Google Resonance Audio was integrated and parameterized for improved realism of distance and room perception in immersive learning environments (Unity-based audio pipeline design and tuning).
  • Learning Analytics Instrumentation: keyword recognition and interaction events were operationalized via xAPI; statements were collected in a Learning Record Store (LRS) for subsequent analysis.
  • Analytics Visualization: Learning analytics were processed and visualized through a React-based dashboard, enabling structured exploration of user behavior and interaction patterns.
  • Research Stimuli: Experimental stimuli were created and iteratively optimized to support controlled studies (audio stimulus engineering and quality assurance under research constraints).
  • Publication: Teaching and research context—including this project period—is documented in the Osnabrück Teach-R publications (PDF).

7) Web Design & Web Development

  • Front-End — UX/UI & Presentation Layer: Layout, typography, spacing, responsive behavior, and information architecture are treated as first-class design and engineering concerns. For beatandwin.com, a bilingual DE/EN user experience was conceptualized and implemented with React, Next.js, TypeScript, i18n routing, localized metadata, structured content, calculator flows, and Core Web Vitals-oriented performance. Semantic HTML, modular styling, accessible landmarks and labels, optimized assets, and restrained dependencies support fast rendering, visual stability, and consistent user flows across desktop and mobile surfaces.

  • Back-End & Server-Side Delivery: Application logic, routing, validation, form workflows, secured endpoints, and API-backed integrations are implemented as part of reliable server-side delivery. beatandwin.com was deployed and operated on Cloudflare edge infrastructure with Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare D1, serverless REST endpoints, GitHub Actions CI/CD, 300+ automated tests, post-deploy healthchecks, and rollback-oriented production safeguards. Automated data pipelines support recurring updates from official HTML/PDF sources with AI-assisted extraction, validation gates, and privacy-by-design operation without cookies, tracking, or user accounts. This backend foundation also extends into on-premises RAG architectures, where documents are processed, stored, embedded, vectorized, and retrieved through structured database-backed pipelines.
