Raphael Rechberger

Automation engineer and AI systems builder

I turn fragmented, manual business processes into autonomous, AI powered systems.

Workflows, API and webhook integrations, and agents with persistent memory, built for teams that still do that work by hand. Currently looking for remote roles in automation engineering, AI engineering or customer success, with a team that values the technical and the human side of the work.

About

How I got here

Before I built workflows and agents, I was a professional triathlete. Racing taught me something that sounds simple and is hard to live: you improve by showing up on the days you would rather not. It is also why I left university early. While training and competing, I worked Level 2 technical support at an Austrian internet provider, and that is where I learned how systems break and how to fix them under pressure.

Then came industrial IT at BMW, administering robotic equipment on a production floor where downtime is measured in money per minute, followed by more than six years at MSC Cruises running international guest operations. Resilient under pressure is not an adjective I picked for a badge: it is six years of international cruise operations plus production IT at BMW.

When the pandemic ended my position at MSC almost overnight, I went back to technology full time. Pure screen work turned out not to be enough. What I like most is the conversation before the build: understanding what someone actually needs, then figuring out how to make it work.

Today I design and ship workflows, agents and integration infrastructure for clients across Europe and the Americas. If you have a process held together by duct tape and good intentions, that first conversation is a good place to start.
