Presentations & Talks
Conferences, user groups and workshops where I shared my work on cloud platforms, automation and artificial intelligence.
Extreme Scaling: Consistent OpenShift Configuration in Multi-Cluster Environments
Red Hat Anwendertreffen
In a one-hour talk I showed how the Hybrid Infineon Cloud Platform team configures, scales and automates its OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters, and how we keep the configuration consistent across many clusters.
Talking to leaders and engineers at the event, one pattern stood out: many companies simply lift and shift legacy monoliths into cloud-native platforms. A monolith in a container on Kubernetes doesn't magically become resilient, agile or fast. It just becomes an expensive, overly complex monolith in the cloud.
Technology is an accelerator, not a strategy. If architecture, mindset and processes don't change, Kubernetes only amplifies the existing inefficiencies.

Infineon Technologies, together with the Infineon IT Academy
Over two years, the HICP team ran training sessions at Infineon sites from Germany to Malaysia, reaching 1,106 participants. I trained more than 1,000 of them myself.
The workshops explain cloud technologies and what happens under the hood of the platform. Hands-on exercises with Red Hat OpenShift turn the theory into real-world skills and confidence. I also gave AI/ML tech talks inside the company.

AI Next Generation Conference
I presented one of my AI projects at the AI Next Generation Conference. The central question of the day: could artificial intelligence help solve climate change?
It was a diverse and insightful day with many great talks, and I got to meet Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler and many experts from the Austrian AI community.

Annual Austrian CIO Conference 2021 (LSZ)
On the main stage, in front of hundreds of CIOs and CEOs, I presented the HTL Spengergasse OCR (Optical Character Recognition) project. My team (Matthias Holzer, Sascha Leber and Constantin Winkler) and I built it in cooperation with Roland Tscheinig from OBJENTIS Software Integration GmbH.
Everything worked out very well and the presentation was well received. One year later, the project won 1st place in the Austrian Federal Artificial Intelligence Competition (BWKI) as the best AI school project in the country.

DocuMatrix UserConference 2021
DocuMatrix invited me to present the two machine learning projects I built during my research internship in July 2021, the first ML projects at DocuMatrix.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference unfortunately could not take place in person, so I gave the presentation remotely.
qaml uses neural networks for quality assurance of documents. docgan generates synthetic XML data with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).
