I'm Oliver Eckel, a security consultant based in Vienna. By day, I help companies navigate NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001. By night (and often by day too), I experiment with AI.
This site is my public notebook - where I collect AI news that matters, write about practical applications, and share experiments. No hype, no "prompt engineering secrets", just honest exploration of what works.
