I build open-source tools for agentic engineering and put AI systems into production.

What your sponsorship supports

Project What it is
🧭 Flow-Next A delivery system for coding agents. Specs hold the intent, fresh-context workers build bounded tasks, a second model reviews the plan and the code, and receipts record what actually happened. Runs on Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Droid, Grok Build and OpenCode.
🔎 GNO Local search and memory over your own documents, for you and your agents.
🎙️ Dettivo for Linux Private, offline speech-to-text. Push-to-talk dictation into any app, meeting transcription with speaker diarization, and searchable history, with Whisper, Parakeet and a local LLM on your GPU or CPU. Built for Omarchy and Hyprland first, with MCP for agents. GPLv3.
🖥️ Omarchy plugins Bar plugins and theme sync for Omarchy: Dettivo and GNO recall in the bar, AI coding quotas across Claude, Codex, Cursor and Grok, and live theme sync for Telegram and Beeper.

About me

Now: Operating Principal, AI & Technology Lead at Growth Factors (BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital)

Previously: Head of AI at CISTEC AG

I work with the product and engineering teams across a portfolio of 30+ European companies, often inside their codebases. The agentic engineering programme I run there reaches 700+ engineers, and Flow-Next is the open-source system behind it. I also build DocIQ and take selected mandates through Mickel Tech.

Where the money goes

  • Hours for releases and issue triage
  • The cross-model eval runs behind the numbers on flow-next.dev (those burn real API credit)
  • Docs and guides

Thanks. If you'd rather send code, issues and PRs are open.

@gmickel

Reaching 20 sponsors would be a significant milestone in my open-source journey. With this support, I'll be able to dedicate more time to developing and maintaining AI-powered open-source tools, create in-depth tutorials and documentation on AI engineering and web development and contribute more actively to the open-source community.
