About me
Battle-proof Web Developer since 2001.
Seen every wave – now passionate about the intersection of AI, privacy, and societal responsibility.
Hi, I'm Tobias. I've been building for the web for over two decades. As a developer, I love clean code and cutting-edge technology — but my focus extends far beyond writing code.
Artificial intelligence and social media are rapidly changing how we work, learn, and live as a society. On this blog, I share technical insights while focusing on three key questions:
- Safe AI Usage: How do we leverage powerful tools without surrendering control, privacy, or critical thinking?
- European Alternatives: What strong, privacy-respecting European AI models and technologies offer an alternative to big-tech monopolies?
- Guidance for Families: How can parents safely guide their children through the digital jungle of social media, algorithms, and generative AI?
