After earning a First-Class BSc Honours degree in Cognitive Psychology from Sheffield University, Andy entered banking in the late 1990s, quickly excelling as a software developer and team leader at firms such as UBS. He specialized in front-office systems, combining deep knowledge of derivatives with hands-on expertise in database design and financial engineering.

Andy deepened his technical and financial capabilities by completing the Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF) from 7City. He went on to collaborate with Dr. Paul Wilmott in delivering advanced lectures for the CQF program. As an experienced developer, Andy has worked extensively with Excel VBA, C++, and Python, building production systems that bridge finance and technology.

His teaching career began in the early 2000s with 7City/Fitch Training, and he has since lectured at institutions including London Business School and Cambridge University’s Judge Business School. Over two decades, he has delivered finance training across the globe — from London and New York to Singapore and Frankfurt.

In 2024, Andy led the derivatives training segment for Goldman Sachs’ graduate program in London, building on years of contribution to their global training initiatives. He has trained thousands of analysts and associates in derivatives, bonds, FX, credit, and equities, and taught extensively on the CFA Level I curriculum.

As the author of two technology books published by O’Reilly, Andy has a long-standing passion for making complex topics accessible. Today, he consults for micro hedge funds, developing Python-based crypto trading and forecasting tools. He is also building large language model (LLM) apps using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for a startup fund in Gibraltar.

Andy’s mission is to simplify the complex — using AI, machine learning, and education to empower professionals and innovate the future of finance.

Luka Karsten Breitig — Trainer Profile

Software Engineer & AI Coding Trainer

Warsaw, Poland | hi@lukabreitig.com | lukabreitig.com

---

Luka Breitig is a software engineer and trainer specialising in AI-assisted development, vibe coding, and developer productivity. His workshops help developers and teams move from treating AI as a fancy autocomplete to using it as a genuine coding partner — one that meaningfully accelerates delivery from day one.

What sets Luka apart as a trainer is his background. He came to software engineering not through a traditional computer science path, but through psychology (B.Sc., Osnabrück) and management (M.A., Zeppelin University, four scholarships including one from Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft). He spent years working alongside engineering teams before learning to code himself — first to stop handing off specs and start shipping, then to understand modern tooling at the level required to teach it seriously.

That non-traditional trajectory shapes his teaching style. Luka bridges technical and non-technical audiences with unusual ease. He can explain MCP integrations to a seasoned engineer in the morning and run the same session in plain language for a marketing team in the afternoon. His sessions are code-driven and hands-on — no dry slides, real-world scenarios, and live demonstrations throughout. Participants leave with practical workflows they can apply on the same day.

Training topics include:

- AI-Assisted Coding with Claude Code: Agentic workflows, MCP integrations, AI-assisted code review, and navigating unfamiliar codebases. Focused on Claude Code as a primary development environment.

- Vibe Coding & AI-First Development: Rapid prototyping from natural language, iterating with AI in the loop, and building functional applications without a traditional engineering process.

- Cursor & AI Code Editors: A comparative overview of Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot — how they differ, when to use each, and how to integrate them effectively into a daily workflow.

- Prompt Engineering: Prompt structure, common failure modes, and practical techniques for code generation, analysis, and content tasks — relevant to both technical and non-technical roles.

- Business Process Automation: Building automated workflows with n8n, Make, and Zapier, connecting internal tools, and reducing manual steps through visual automation.

Luka trains in German (native) and English (fluent), and delivers workshops online, in person, and in hybrid formats — as well as custom team sessions, conference talks, and implementation consultancy.

His training experience spans several contexts. He was commissioned by Bots & People, a corporate AI training agency, to deliver hands-on workshops on AI-assisted development for developer teams. He designed a three-month curriculum on agentic AI for Code First Girls, covering AI coding tools, automation, and real-world application. As co-founder and CTO of The Happy Beavers, he ran weekly AI training sessions over several months with his own eleven-person team. He has also spoken publicly on AI tools and agentic development, including at Nomad Summit in Chiang Mai in 2025.

Alongside his training work, Luka builds and ships his own products — including an open-source scheduling platform (Tymeslot), an AI translation engine (Transvexis), and an AI research tool for YouTube content (In A Nutshell). He consults for startups and SMEs as an AI solutions developer, taking projects from scoping through to deployment and handover.

Available for workshops, conference talks, and team training engagements.
