// about me

Lisa Welsch

Founder, developer, and endlessly curious about what's next.

I'm a software developer and founder based in Vienna, Austria. I run TasteHub GmbH, where I build products that range from AI-powered developer tools to mobile apps and bioinformatics platforms.

I'm passionate about efficient code, LLMs, context compression, and cutting-edge research. I've shipped everything from low-level C++ game engines to Go-based code intelligence systems to Python bioinformatics pipelines. What ties it all together is a drive to solve hard problems with clean code — and an inability to stop learning new things.

What I Do

Code Intelligence

I build an engineering ecosystem that covers the full chain: CKB delivers native code intelligence as a single binary — semantic search, call graphs, impact analysis via CLI and MCP. ArchReview automates architecture audits in CI/CD, and the Onboarding Tutor shortens time-to-productivity for new developers.

Knowledge & Data Infrastructure

Ingestible transforms 25+ formats into token-optimized knowledge stores. Cognitive Vault preserves institutional memory across context resets and team changes. Plus libraries like ContextCompressionEngine and SwarmWire for multi-agent orchestration.

Games & Creative Tools

Lead developer on Cytopia (2.1k+ stars), an open-source city builder with a custom C++/SDL2 isometric engine. PIXL is an LLM-native pixel art toolchain built in Rust — CLI, MCP server, and a Flutter desktop studio. Also built JewelFall for iOS.

Science & Apps

OpenLab is an open bioinformatics platform for cancer research — autonomous AI agents producing cited gene dossiers and variant interpretation. TasteHub is a recipe app for iOS and Android with offline-first architecture and Firebase sync, co-founded with Martyna.

Beyond Code

When I'm not writing code, I'm probably cooking, gaming, 3D printing, or deep in VR. I love exploring new tech, whether it's the latest in context compression for LLMs or a new filament for my printer. Always curious, always learning.
