Developer · AI enthusiast · Business-minded

Hey, I’m Vlad!

I’m a hobbyist developer and AI enthusiast with a business-minded approach to technology. I enjoy exploring what’s worth building, why it matters — and how to turn promising ideas into useful tools.

The launchpad is my link collection — projects, demos & self-hosted things, all in one place.

About me

I’m currently studying Business Informatics at AKAD Stuttgart while working in Technical Sales at Rohde & Schwarz. My path has been non-linear: I previously studied Informatics and Management & Technology at TUM, which gave me a broad perspective on technology, business — and how the two fit together.

What interests me most is the space between an idea and a useful product. I’m fascinated by AI and enjoy trying it across different kinds of projects, but I’m just as interested in the questions behind the technology: What problem are we solving? Who is it for? Does it make sense to build?

Right now I’m building Nodus as a company, with PageIQ as its product, continuing work on FlexScribe, and still the administrator for SAV Deutschland. Works in progress — and that’s part of what I enjoy: starting with an idea, experimenting patiently, and learning where it can lead.

I’m patient, curious, and always open to meeting thoughtful people — a job opportunity, a project, a hackathon, or simply a reason to stay in touch.
