remus@lazar.info:~$ cat about.txt

Software architect. Computer science & electrical engineering at the University of Stuttgart. Co-founded cron IT in 2002: web projects and hosting, run by its owners. At EV Freaks, chargEV started as an app built after hours; today it is ChargEV FleX, and we are an e-mobility provider ourselves. I write about AI-assisted development and what it does to the way teams work, with numbers from my own commit history.
