Christian BlankSenior Software Engineer & AI Solutions ArchitectSEW-EURODRIVE / Industrial software
At SEW-EURODRIVE, I developed components for data acquisition, analysis logic and the application used by maintenance teams. The predictive maintenance platform connected vibration analysis and neural networks for failure detection with existing production processes.

Team leadership / AI integration / B2B SaaS
I assembled the development team and owned planning, stakeholder alignment, architecture and delivery of a B2B invoicing platform. Together, we implemented OCR, process automation and a digital assistant based on a fine-tuned open-weight LLM.

Echobot (now Leadfeeder)
At Echobot (now Leadfeeder), I developed components for web crawling and online content analysis. As part of the engineering team, I played a key role in training a neural network for text classification and the detection of sales-relevant company signals.

Training / with ObviousWorks
I deliver agentic software development training with ObviousWorks, helping development teams integrate coding agents into their day-to-day work. This is an ongoing collaboration, spanning past and future training engagements.
In these sessions, I teach context engineering, deliberate use of permissions and working with coding agents in new and existing applications.

I built aidrelay to manage configurations across AI development tools. Change previews, conflict detection and backups make updates reviewable and reversible.

Today, my focus is on AI integration, agentic systems and software teams’ development practices. At Augmentry, I work on AI and software projects from clarifying requirements through architecture and implementation to rollout.
I combine hands-on engineering with software architecture and team leadership. For a B2B invoicing platform in the UAE, I assembled and led the team and took responsibility for the entire development process, from planning and stakeholder alignment through architecture and implementation to delivery. Together, we integrated OCR, process automation and a digital assistant based on a fine-tuned open-weight LLM.
