Frederic Abraham

Senior developer at Respeak in Berlin. I work across the whole stack, and most of my work involves AI: generative models in my master's, sentence embeddings for a game with 18,000 concurrent players, and now a retrieval-augmented generation platform.

The move

2020

Off to Maastricht for a master's in AI. GT-ARC works closely with TU Berlin's DAI-Labor, so most of my work there already touched AI, and I wanted to understand it properly. I also had a feeling it would matter a lot more in a few years.

Maastricht · Aachen

2020–2022
2020–2022Study
Maastricht UniversityM.Sc. Artificial Intelligence, 8.25

Team projects throughout; I focused on generative models.

2022Study

GANs that generate stable structures for Angry Birds levels. The results became a paper at AIIDE 2023.

2020–2022Work
RWTH AachenStudent assistant

Just across the border, so I kept this job throughout: identity management for about 47,000 students and 9,000 staff. Plus an internship in 2021 on spotting suspicious activity in file-server backups.

Back in Berlin

2023Work
RespeakThe SWR Tatort game

A chat game for Tatort, built for 100,000 concurrent players. I owned the scaling: Azure migration, sentence-embedding models on Azure ML, a leaner Flask backend with caching, load balancing. 18,000 concurrent players at launch, team of five.

Work
RespeakTech lead

I built its core: a RAG platform for public administration that answers from an organisation's own documents and cites the page every answer came from.

Johannische Kirche

since 2020
since 2020Volunteer
Kirchentagswocheprogramme, live stream, Mediathek

The site for the church's Kirchentag week, built end to end: the programme people plan their days with, the live stream, and the Mediathek with the recordings. Rebuilt for 2026 on Nuxt 4 and Cloudflare Workers.

since 2024Volunteer
The new hymnaleditor, pipeline, app

The church is putting together a new Gesangbuch, and I build the software around it: an editor where texts meet melodies and open tasks get tracked, scripts that prepare the sheet music, and the offline app the congregation sings from. Used every Sunday, so bugs get reported fast.

Volunteer
And around itsmaller sites, services, advice

The smaller websites and services the church needs along the way, and a hand in the technical planning when a new project starts.
