Robert Hoffmann — Industrial Full-Stack Consultant

Full-Stack Consultant · Industrial Software · AI Workflows

About

I use AI agents as part of the engineering workflow, not just as autocomplete: research, specs, code review, implementation, documentation sync, quality gates, and repeatable delivery systems. The goal is not novelty; it is faster, clearer, more controlled software delivery.

I’ve spent 25+ years building software that has to survive real traffic, real operations, and real users: white-label chat platforms handling 400M requests/day, ad systems serving 3B+ impressions/month, offline field apps for industrial teams, and data orchestration systems running 30K+ jobs/day. Today I focus on industrial software, operational platforms, observability, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
