Simon Doba
AI Consultant & DevOps Engineer
I build AI systems, cloud infrastructure, and web applications. Based in Berlin, I work at the intersection of engineering and design - from architecture to interface.
I started building software in 2017 at a small startup in Stuttgart - Android apps, route optimization, UI design. That's where I discovered I care equally about how something works and how it feels.
From there I moved to Berlin, studied Computer Science at TU Berlin, and worked as a working student at enterprise companies: MHP (Porsche subsidiary), T-Systems, and now Orbit. Each role pulled me deeper into infrastructure, DevOps, and eventually AI.
At MHP, I ran a GenAI feasibility study for a DAX-10 corporation - LLM-powered documentation automation that hit 80% quality against a 50% gate. At T-Systems, I helped build the Digital Ventures department and shipped satellite teletext extraction systems. Now at Orbit, I'm building a multi-LLM chatbot platform with RAG pipelines for production environments.
On the side, I authored a research study analyzing 24,560 pull requests to understand how AI coding agents impact CI/CD pipelines. That research drives the consulting I do for teams adopting AI tools.

Do AI Coding Agents Break Your CI/CD Pipeline?
An empirical study analyzing 24,560 pull requests across 447 GitHub repositories. Found that AI-authored PRs have 19.4% higher odds of CI failure, with small PRs failing at 2x the rate of human changes.
