Gunther Bidlingmaier
I am Gunther, a Software Engineer based in Munich.
My journey in tech and Computer Science has taken me from being a Researcher at the Technical University of Munich to getting onto the AI hype train by founding my own AI startup.
Instead of just boasting with AI buzzwords, I strive to leverage Large Language Models to build tools that are actually useful and solve real problems.
In my free time, I enjoy playing the French horn at Junge Münchner Symphoniker [Young Munich Symphony Orchestra] and doing outdoor sports.
