Portrait of Tristan Ratz

Tristan Ratz

Engineering Team Lead (AI, Search, Knowledge)

At Serviceware, I manage the teams around AI, search and knowledge of the AI-native Serviceware Platform. We are working on the future of AI-native Enterprise Service Management (ESM) and, with Agent Hub, redefining the way people work in the service industry.

Before that I worked as a Generative AI consultant at Genow AI and studied Information Systems at TU Darmstadt, where I spent most of my time on natural language processing, from question answering to retrieval augmented generation.

What I keep coming back to: in a product, AI is a means to an end, never an end in itself. A model is only as good as the experience it enables. If people notice the AI more than the improvement, something went wrong.

This website was created using modern web technologies. The source code is available at Github.

To represent me and my work, I decided to built my own website, while expanding my React and JavaScript skills even further. The different components were built on basis of React and the source code is hosted on Github to let other users find inspiration for their own work.

During the process of hosting the site I gained my first experiences with Amazon Web Services and set up my Lightsail instance with Nginx, a MailServer and Weblog Analytics.

This project gave me a strong basis to work on further web projects.
