Beckmann

Osnabrück, Germany
Working globally

Founding Engineer at Matix and an open-source builder since 2018. I work across AI agents, mobile systems, cloud infrastructure, and the interfaces between them.

I build ambitioussystems wheresoftware meets thereal world.

I’m a founding engineer and open-source builder. I turn new technical territory into infrastructure people can actually use: mobile-agent runtimes, cloud device infrastructure, SDKs, portals, and the protocols beneath them. Away from the keyboard, I’m usually training.

Selected work

Phone-use agents, cloud device infrastructure, real-time streaming, portals, APIs, and SDKs.

Selected systems

The common thread is ownership across boundaries: product and protocol, cloud and device, framework and developer experience. These are the systems where that range is most visible.

01

Matix Cloud

Founding Engineer · Matix

I design and build the systems around phone-use agents: API-controlled cloud device infrastructure, real-time streaming, Android and iOS portal applications, and official Python and TypeScript SDKs. The work moves constantly between product, protocols, infrastructure, and the edge.

mobilerun

Core engineer · open source

An LLM-agnostic framework that gives agents native control of Android and iOS devices. I work across the agent runtime, mobile portals, developer experience, and the infrastructure that turns a prompt into reliable action on a real device.

cc-router

Maintainer · open source

An independently maintained local routing proxy for Claude Code and Codex. I have turned the fork into an active systems project spanning cache-aware session affinity, load-aware account leases, model-scoped rate-limit handling, byte-transparent streaming, security hardening, and cross-platform release engineering.

altv-go

Co-creator · open source (archived)

A Go language module for the now-retired alt:V multiplayer platform, bridging its C++ game server with a Go runtime. It became the project where contribution grew into architecture: runtime boundaries, language interop, tooling, documentation, and a community building on top.

Built in public

Open source is where I learned to make work legible to strangers: to enter an existing system, understand its constraints, improve it without breaking trust, and leave behind something others can build on.

  • InvoiceShelf

    Recurring contributions spanning S3-compatible storage, migration from Crater, EU-compliance fields, and interface fixes.

  • Autumn

    Extended query feature coverage in the Better Auth plugin for the open-source pricing and billing platform.

  • limrun

    Brought the official Go SDK for cloud mobile infrastructure to feature parity with its TypeScript counterpart.

A compressed history

  1. Started building

    Began teaching myself software engineering and shipping projects before it was a career path.

  2. Entered open source

    Started contributing publicly; later became a GitHub Arctic Code Vault Contributor.

  3. Founded a software business

    Built an independent studio at 19, delivering product design, full-stack engineering, and search work to commercial clients.

  4. Computer science to systems

    Completed the Abitur with advanced Computer Science, Chemistry, and Mathematics, then studied Business Information Systems.

  5. Joined Matix

    Left university after two semesters to join Matix’s five-person founding team as Founding Engineer.

  6. Building the phone layer

    Working across AI agents, mobile platforms, cloud fleets, streaming, APIs, and the developer tools that connect them.

Public record

Claims are cheap. I trust repositories, benchmarks, shipped products, and independent coverage.

Let’s build something ambitious.

I’m always interested in hard technical problems, serious open-source work, and conversations with people building at the edge of what is currently possible.
