Nicolas Schmid I make AI-built software hold — and sell.
From platform architect to AI systems expert. I build the bridge between vibe-coding speed and 20 years of real software craft — for developers and teams across the DACH region.
From developer to AI systems expert
I spent years as a cloud and data-platform architect — a deep instinct for solid engineering, contributor to the open-source platform HelloDATA. Then I started working seriously with coding agents.
They did the boring work faster than I ever could. The honest reaction was existential: go with it, or get left behind. I went with it — and saw the gap nobody was closing. Vibe-coding is real, but it throws away 20 years of software engineering. The last 20% — architecture, tests, review, software that actually sells — is still the whole job.
So I build the bridge: AI speed with real craft. That's anvil-coder, multiple audiobooks, and the work I do through Halvic.
