About
David Horvath
Software engineer in Vienna. Applied AI, end to end — models, the systems around them, and the hardware they run on.
I have five years of professional experience building software, four of them building AI-powered products end to end — from training and deploying computer vision models and LLM/RAG systems to designing the distributed backends, device integrations and frontends that turn them into shipped products.
At Verizon I trained custom YOLO models and put them into a real-time video pipeline on AWS, then built one of the team's first production RAG systems. At Swiss Re I engineered large-scale entity extraction pipelines in Palantir Foundry and built LLM agent systems for investment analysis. I am now the sole engineer at Biomotion Technologies, owning the entire software stack and release process of a shipping bioprinter.
I like high autonomy and the parts of a product other people hand off: the device boundary, the offline update path, the architecture decision nobody wants to own. I spent a year as Scrum Master alongside development work, which mostly taught me how much of engineering is deciding what not to build.
Outside of product work I make interactive installations and live audio-reactive visuals — shown at Ars Electronica and the Zsolnay Light Festival, and collected in the Lab.
