About Me
Hello, I'm Paul Weber
The key to achieving fast and reliable delivery is to treat every aspect of the delivery process as code.
I'm a software architect who stays close to the code: today AI agents write most of it, while I design the system, set the rules and review every result. I started with simulation models and Hardware-in-the-Loop systems, where a handful of us served many customer projects. That forced us to find patterns that scale, and it's where I first got into CI. From there I moved into embedded automotive software, built the delivery platforms that let many teams ship it, and today design and build AI products end to end.
I prefer working prototypes to endless meetings: build something small, test it against reality, discuss the next step based on working code. Much of my work is understanding and categorizing a problem first, then exploring the solution space (constraints, trade-offs, cost) and choosing the technically and organizationally (cost-)optimal option.
I'm naturally curious and like to learn, whether new technologies or entirely different fields. After all, staying in the comfort zone gets boring over time 🙃
What I Do
Software Architecture
Designing systems that scale and stay maintainable, documented with arc42 and decided with clear trade-offs. Ideas are validated early with small working prototypes.
Platforms & Delivery
CI/CD platforms and developer tooling that let many teams build, test and ship on their own, a theme since my Hardware-in-the-Loop days, using framework mechanisms instead of custom scripts.
AI Engineering
AI agents in production and the harness around them: skills, patterns and guardrails that make agent-written code follow the architecture.
Enabling Teams
Growing developers from junior to senior thinking through clear structures, and translating technical concepts so non-technical people can decide with confidence.
My Approach
I believe most problems don't need unique or expensive solutions, just clear categorization and the right perspective. Many challenges in software (and most probably in other worlds too) have already been solved by brilliant minds before us, so I build on proven patterns instead of reinventing the wheel.
By listening closely, to clients or to a codebase, I find where processes can be streamlined, costs cut or legacy systems phased out. With AI agents my stance is clear: agents write the code, I own the design and the decisions, encode the architecture as skills they follow, and review every result as the architect before it ships.
