Luca Becker

Principal Consultant & AI-Coding Specialist

Infrastructure, team leadership, and helping developers work effectively with AI tools.

About Me

Passionate about transforming businesses through technology

At my current client, I'm responsible for infrastructure and dev-enablement, leading a team while still writing code - mostly AI-assisted these days. At TNG Technology Consulting, I'm driving initiatives around AI-assisted coding: how to use it effectively, how to teach it, and where it's taking professional software development.

My technical background spans TypeScript, React, Angular, Java, Spring Boot, and cloud technologies like AWS and Kubernetes. I studied Computer Science at KIT with a focus on IT Security and Cryptography.
