Moin. I'm Uli.

Ulrich Diedrichsen

I've been building software for 40 years. IBM, PwC, own projects—done it all. Now I just want to build.

I'm 60, based in Hamburg, and I've written more code than I can remember. Enterprise systems, mobile apps, web platforms, IoT devices—you name it, I've probably built it.

Two years ago I stopped consulting and started building my own things. I created Conductor—an AI system that lets me build in days what used to take months. 200+ repos later, the workshop is the heart. I also run a SME AI-analysis practice, but that one is DACH/German-only.

My Philosophy

Versuch macht klug. Try things. Some work, some don't. Both make you smarter. I've failed enough to know what matters.

I believe in building over talking. In shipping over planning. In working software over slide decks. Conductor gives me the speed to try things fast and learn from real users.

What I'm Working On

🚀

40 Years of Building

Enterprise at IBM. Strategy at PwC. Full-stack independent. Now all of that experience feeds the workshop and the SME analytics practice.

🏙️

Hamburg, Germany

Born and raised. I like the harbour, the rain, and the directness. Moin means hello, goodbye, and everything in between.

🎯

Workshop & Cashflow

Own products are the heart. A DACH-only SME AI-analysis practice is the cashflow. Both in parallel, both honest.

Workshop + SME Cashflow

My workshop: own ideas, own products, Conductor as the AI system. In parallel, a DACH-only SME AI-analysis practice keeps the lights on. Two honest legs, cleanly separated.

Ideas In, Working Software Out

I spent decades watching great ideas die in meetings. Now I build them. Conductor lets me go from idea to working product in days. Structure enables speed—I plan carefully, then execute fast with AI.

🎯

Structure + Speed

I plan before I build. Clear requirements, solid architecture. Then AI compresses weeks into days.

📐

Design First

API contracts, database schemas, wireframes—defined before development starts. AI builds faster when it knows exactly what to build.

🤖

Human + AI

Conductor orchestrates AI agents. I review everything. Technology amplifies, never replaces judgment.

🚀

Ship It

Working software over slide decks. Always. A shipped MVP teaches more than months of planning.

My Secret Weapon

Meet Conductor

My AI development system. It orchestrates multiple AI agents working in parallel—frontend, backend, testing—all at once. Like having a team of developers that never sleeps.
