About

Technical consulting with personal accountability.

Augmentry brings together our work on AI and software initiatives. Christian Blank contributes more than twelve years of software engineering and experience in regulated industries. Simon Daum adds hands-on experience from his own SaaS and automation projects.

Team

Christian Blank & Simon Daum.

We combine experience in software engineering, regulated industries, SaaS development and automation, working directly with the teams responsible for each initiative.

Portrait of Christian Blank
Christian Blank

An engineer with experience in development and operations.

  • More than twelve years of software engineering across web, backend and embedded systems, from TypeScript and React through Python to C#/.NET and C++.
  • Professional experience mainly in regulated industries: medical technology, pharma and industrial environments, with the corresponding respect for privacy, security and evidence.
  • Freelance AI and software consultant for mid-market companies since 2022, from first idea through prototype to production operation.
  • Current focus: agentic systems, RAG, MCP tool use and self-hosted inference where privacy, cost or latency rule out simple API-only solutions.

Vendor neutrality is based on comparative practical experience. The focus on security comes from projects with privacy and compliance requirements.

Portrait of Simon Daum
Simon Daum

A developer focused on practical automation.

  • Software developer focused on React Native, Next.js and AI automation, freelancing since 2019 and active in his own SaaS and automation projects.
  • Founder of alloq.digital : web and mobile applications as well as AI automations for companies in the DACH region, often for founders without their own engineering team.
  • Computer Science studies at the University of Innsbruck, complemented by training in electrical engineering, electronics and communication technology at WIFI Tirol.
  • Contributes experience with automations used in the ongoing operations of small and mid-sized companies.

At alloq.digital I often work with founders who do not have their own engineering team. That practical closeness is what I bring to Augmentry: building automation and AI so they keep running without me.

Position

Independent technical judgement.

Whether the engagement involves training, a software project or an assessment, we start with the specific problem, state the limitations and take responsibility for the technical judgement.

Recommendations without vendor ties

Augmentry does not resell software or work through reseller agreements. We select tools only after the requirements and constraints are clear.

We build software ourselves

Our consulting and assessments are grounded in direct experience with architecture, development, reviews and operations.

We raise risks early

We explain where AI is unsuitable, which prerequisites are missing and where the likely effort is not justified.

Working style

How we work.

Four principles describe how we make decisions, document results and work with your team.

01

We begin with your current situation and clarify the objective, systems and constraints before proposing a solution.

02

We assess tool selection, working practices, security boundaries and responsibilities separately before bringing them together in the technical decision.

03

We divide the work into traceable steps that can be implemented and reviewed in day-to-day operations.

04

We use references and metrics only when we can substantiate them.

Would you like to discuss your initiative with us?

Briefly describe the situation and your objective. In the first conversation, we clarify the open technical questions and the next practical step.
