I'm Martin. AI is changing how engineering teams work — since early 2026, more than ever. I've been at the forefront: working AI-assisted since 2023, and building daily with agents like Claude Code for over a year. I help companies not fall behind.

Whether you're an engineer navigating the AI tool jungle, a decision-maker positioning your company for 2026, or someone trying to keep up with breakneck change — let's talk.

Gain Clarity

Workshop: “Do we need to adopt Agentic Software Engineering now?”

Software development has changed more in the last few months than in the last ten years. Those who act now can pull ahead. Those who stand still need good reasons at least.

In a workshop with your engineers and decision-makers, we figure out:

  • How has software development changed in recent years?
  • Which assumptions were true six months ago but no longer are?
  • How secure are Codex, Claude Code, and the like?
  • How much time can you actually save?

And above all: Does this fit your company?

In preparation, I talk openly and honestly with your engineers and decision-makers. I understand how you work, what’s on your mind, and where the real opportunities are.

Afterward, you’ll know whether to start — and how.

If you reach out, we simply get to know each other first. No commitment. After that, you decide if and how you’d like to move forward.

Overcome Capacity Bottlenecks

Software Engineering

Capacity bottleneck?

Failed offshore experiment?

Critical errors?

I'm happy to help, with many years of experience in various technologies and pragmatic software architecture.

I am productive from day one, guaranteed.

We'll discuss the job's mode of operation, scope, and payment during the interview.

What People Think About Me

”Martin often raised aspects in team discussions that no one had thought of before, which often led us to make better decisions. Hardly anyone listens as attentively as he does, nor can they explain complex things so clearly. Overall, he is an invaluable part of any team.”

”No matter how complex the task was - if Martin took it on, you could be sure that it would not only be implemented properly, but also solved sustainably. […] He can explain technical decisions in a way that everyone can understand, quickly bringing teams to a common denominator.”

More About Me

LinkedIn

I talk quite a lot on LinkedIn. Basically about software engineering. Specifically about:

  • Software as a social discipline
  • Cost pitfalls
  • Opportunities and risks of AI as a tool
  • And sometimes about me

If you are not yet part of my network, I would love if you would connect with me!

iOS App: iana

My passion project: On the App Store since 2021. 100% crash-free.

Shuffle albums and generate playlists with Apple Music. It's free. It uses the modern Apple tech stack: SwiftUI, Swift Data, Swift Testing, async/await, Combine. Buzzwords!

Screenshot of the iana app showing “History”. Several albums or cover images are visible, currently playing is “Wave” by Philosopher King.
