AustriaWhat I'm looking for
At Avataris GmbH, I’m leading the development of photorealistic, AI-driven Digital Humans and AI agents, including Aimigo. I pivoted Avataris to business use cases and generated EUR 300k in revenue from its first two enterprise clients, including voestalpine.
I built connect, a VR-capable virtual home and multi-messenger, alone. It reached #10 among 1,700+ VR apps on HTC Viveport and passed 40,000 downloads across VR and Android.
With exployt, I’m building AI agent orchestration to direct teams of autonomous agents in software development. I offer remote, performance-based software development through Unicorn Dev and triumviry, with clients paying for accepted product logic.
