Hi, I’m Rene Schallner.

I build things — software, tools, products — at the intersection of AI and research. Currently running AI Research & Technology Lab in Vienna, where I’m building QualCode and LaBrowser.

Before that: Chief Founding Engineer at ZML, 8 years at NIM (Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions), medical tech, telecom. I’ve been writing code for a long time and I still find it genuinely interesting.

I write here about what I’m building, thinking about, and occasionally getting wrong.
