I develop AI strategies and build the tools to match. As a web and UI/UX designer, I make sure they feel right.

Approach
AI is my world. I think in systems, start from first principles and build what is missing: tools that do one thing well, run locally and show openly what they do.

Agentic coding harness
Shows what the coding agent did and what it cost: live cost per turn, budget caps, a LEARN mode and evidence instead of claimed success. Model-neutral, with a TUI.
Rust · ratatui
Chrome ad blocker
Blocks ads, trackers and social widgets with a three-tier filter system, element picker and cosmetic filters.
JavaScript
PC cleaner for Windows
Lean, local and fast, with no data transfer. As a GUI, CLI and TUI.

About
I am Philipp, based in Bonn, Germany, and currently training as a media designer (digital and print). My passion is artificial intelligence: I develop AI strategies, build my own agents and tools and release them as open source and npm packages.
Web design and UI/UX are my craft, software engineering is my favorite hobby. I also write books. When a tool is missing that should exist, I build it myself.
How I work
Where does AI really help? I develop strategies, agents and MCP servers, and measure what they deliver and what they cost.
Web design, UI/UX, layout, typography and motion. From Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign to After Effects and Blender.
Clean frontends and lean backends. Semantic HTML, modern CSS, TypeScript, Rust and Python. Software engineering as a hobby, with a taste for perfectionism.
Beyond code
As an author I write satirical books and an online magazine, in German. The first volume is called "Hallo Welt: Erhebliche Kritik am unerhörten Bildungsgang der Lernvollzugsanstalt SK-S". There is also Worthaft, a daily five-letter word game.
