About
Engineer and builder based in Vienna. Studying electrical engineering at TU Wien, building an applied-AI product, available for remote project work in software, apps, platforms, and embedded / edge AI.
I’m Harald Fuchs, a BSc student in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at TU Wien, with five years of formal training in electronics and technical informatics behind me. Most of my engineering work sits between hardware and software — microcontrollers, sensors, and the pipelines that turn their data into something useful.
Beyond the degree, my time goes into three things: building (products, ventures, side projects), learning (and writing it down in public), and creating value — for clients through project work, and longer-term through my own products.
Since the start of 2026 a growing share of that has gone into applied AI: building agents and the tooling around them — Claude plugins and skills, agent orchestration, Openclaw, Paperclip, LangGraph. Less interest in the models themselves than in what survives contact with real use, which is where most of the work actually is.
I’m available for remote project work alongside my studies — web apps, platforms, embedded firmware, and edge-AI builds. Send a short inquiry →

Experience
Siemens AG — Working Student, Automation Engineer · Jan 2026 – Apr 2026
Supported the engineering team on automation projects for the pharmaceutical industry, working with SIMATIC PCS 7 and TIA Portal and assisting with on-site commissioning at customer facilities.
Austrian Armed Forces — national service · Jul 2024 – Jan 2025
Six months between the HTL and university. Administrative work, most of it in Excel, alongside field training — several marches and a Feldwoche.
Seibersdorf GmbH — Embedded Engineer (contract) · Sep 2023 – Jul 2024
Developed hardware and firmware for a fully autonomous two-axis measurement system for Co-60 gamma radiation, with STM32-based motion control in C and LabVIEW-driven automation and data acquisition. Read the case →
Documatrix GmbH — Software Engineering Intern · Aug 2022
Full-stack development with Go and TypeScript, including a complete migration of the production frontend from JavaScript to TypeScript and a switch from Webpack to esbuild that cut build times by roughly 10×. Read the case →
TGM Robotics & IoT — volunteer instructor · 2021 – 2024
Ran the robotics and IoT after-school programmes at TGM alongside my own diploma.
The full record, including projects and certifications, is on the Timeline →
Building
REPLAI — applied AI software for short-term rental hosts, in build since Feb 2026. LLM-driven guest communication across channels in a unified inbox, with automated and approval-gated replies. Node.js, Supabase, n8n, React Native.
processpilot — a B2B SaaS, still pre-launch. Details when it ships.
I write about the process — positioning, pricing, first customers, the unglamorous operational parts — in Notes.
Off the clock
Strength training has been the constant since 2022. Beyond my own training I write individual plans for people around me and help them fix technique — programming and progression, and the biomechanics behind why a lift stalls or starts to hurt. If you want a plan, ask.
Mountains in both seasons. Skiing since 2008, mountaineering since 2016 — many tours, highest summit so far the Großvenediger at 3657 m.
Travelling whenever the semester leaves room. Most recently a month through Asia in September 2025 — scuba diving, daily yoga, and an unreasonable number of coconuts.
Before the gym there was football: ten seasons in a club team, 2011 to 2021.
I was born in 2005 and grew up in Tulln an der Donau, Lower Austria, before moving to Vienna for the HTL.
