Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout René
I support and advise software development teams in integrating AI into their engineering processes. My focus is on designing and implementing individual AI Engineering Workflows with GitHub Copilot and Google ADK, analyzing and optimizing existing AI-supported development processes, and developing reusable agentic frameworks along the V-model.
In doing so, I develop solutions that automatically prepare project-specific knowledge from existing codebases for AI assistants, enabling AI systems to better understand project context, architecture, and engineering standards, and to deliver consistent results.
