Hi, I’m Manuel.

I build applied AI systems, scientific production environments, and the infrastructure that supports them.

My work lives at the intersection of artificial intelligence, physical systems, and real-world constraints — where ideas don’t just need to be clever, they need to work.

This site is a guided tour of that work: from multimodal AI assistants and computer vision pipelines to electrochemical production systems and self-hosted compute infrastructure.

If you’re curious about how things are built, how they behave in practice, or how intelligence can be deployed thoughtfully — you’re in the right place.
