Luka Karsten Breitig

About

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. lukabreitig.com
