I build things.
The things ship.

Currently writing my bachelor thesis on adaptive learning at TUM, building StudyClever and prozessgenau, and shipping software for NGOs through Coding for Change e.V.

Artemis — MCQ generation in chat

Artemis is the open-source learning platform developed at TUM — 299 contributors, in active production at TU Munich, KIT, Universities of Stuttgart and Passau, Hochschule München, TU Dresden, Hochschule Heilbronn, and the codeAbility Austrian consortium (Innsbruck, Salzburg, JKU Linz, Klagenfurt, TU Wien). Imperial College London is among the institutions evaluating adoption.

I shipped a multiple-choice question generation feature inside Artemis’s integrated chat: a persistent conversational UI, an interactive answer carousel, and answer retention across sessions. It went out in the 9.0.0 release.

For my bachelor thesis I’m extending Artemis’s mastery model with a competency-graph-gated adaptive MCQ system, where progression depends on demonstrated understanding rather than self-reported completion.

2024·Beta

StudyClever

A full-semester study companion for university students. Not a flashcard app — StudyClever ingests lecture PDFs or imports an entire Moodle course (via a browser extension I built), then schedules slides, MCQs, free-recall, Feynman explanations, worked examples and past-exam questions across phase-aware semester arcs (Encoding → Review → Exam prep). Each day it tells the student exactly how much to do to hit exam-readiness on schedule.

The cost model is copy-paste: students use their own ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini subscription, with automatic token-budget fitting so prompts always fit the user’s plan. Zero cost to operate.

I used StudyClever to prepare for SEBA, a memorisation-heavy module at TU Munich, and scored a 1.4 — the second-highest grade awarded in a cohort of 200. I’m not normally a strong memorisation test-taker.

2026·Discovery

prozessgenau

A pre-incorporation B2B software services business for German SMBs. Currently in customer discovery, supported by UnternehmerTUM mentoring. I’m deliberately not incorporating until the offering is validated by interviews with target customers.

This is the founder thesis I’m currently testing — not a polished product.

2024·Live

Firmlix

A financial-data display site for US public companies, sourced from the SEC EDGAR API. Lighthouse 100 across all four categories. Pivoted from an AI-summarised stock-news synthesis tool after running the unit economics on Anthropic API costs.

2026·Founding

Coding for Change e.V.

Munich-based student e.V. (registered non-profit, founded April 2026, Finanzamt approval pending). The mission is to bridge CS students and NGOs by building software for organisations with missions but no technical resources.

Currently building a Begleiter management platform for Lebenshilfe — Begleiter are caregivers assigned to children to support them through school life. The platform replaces a manual workflow of timesheets, emails and Excel spreadsheets with structured assignment, time tracking and reporting.

Going forward I’m identifying and onboarding NGO partner teams and leading projects.

Earlier

2022·Self-taught

House Points platform

Self-taught PHP, WordPress and MySQL/phpMyAdmin over a summer to build a points-tracking platform for my school. Pre-AI, pre-Cursor, built from Stack Overflow and patience. Deployed but not adopted — the school raised GDPR concerns, reasonable in hindsight.

2024·Grade 1.0

Fahrtenbuch app — TUM iPraktikum

TUM’s flagship hands-on software-engineering team project. Eight-person team, mobile driving logbook app.

2024·YouTube

Broadcom company-explainer

A single explainer video about Broadcom that has accumulated 400+ watch hours and 100+ subscribers in a year, with sustained search-driven traffic of around 30 views every 48 hours. Validated a niche I haven’t yet returned to.

Leadership

2024 — 2025·Co-founder

RoboTUM

Co-founder, Head of Marketing & HR. Helped grow the organisation from zero to 60+ members onboarded from 100+ applications, across three working projects: a humanoid robot, a robotics competitions team, and public education. Stepped back to refocus on software work; the mission — making Munich Europe’s hub for robotics — continues. One co-founder, Pasha, is now in YC’s Summer 2026 batch with a robotics/AI startup.

2021 — 2022·Co-founder

MYP Tutorials

Co-founded a 10-tutor group providing free 1-on-1 tutoring to younger students. My own tutee’s math grade improved to the top possible mark after one month of weekly sessions.

2019 — 2020·Lead

STEAM Project

Led a 3-person specialist team building an automatic rooftop-garden irrigation system for the school, fundraising €1,000 for materials by selling healthy food at school.

Contact

I’m Alexander — a sixth-semester Information Systems student at TU Munich, finishing my bachelor in winter 2026/27. I work in German, English, Russian and French, grew up between three countries, and spend most of my time building software that I want other people to use.

If you’re working on something interesting — a company, a research project, a hard problem inside a real organisation — I’m open to a conversation.
