<p><br />
Hey, I’m <strong>Cory</strong> — half code, half coffee, and somehow always caught between compile and compose.
I live where technology finally gets pretty — in apps that don’t just work, but are genuinely enjoyable to use.</p>

<p>What defines me is a clear mind and a curious eye.
I think in SwiftUI components but feel in user flows — for me, structure and rhythm belong together.
I like software that feels elegant because it’s built cleanly, not because it’s been overdesigned.</p>

<p>What matters most to me is that technology reaches people, not just machines.
I believe in solid architecture, in testing, in documentation — but also that a touch of chaos is what makes creativity possible in the first place.
And yes, for me, sustainability doesn’t start in the code — it starts in the mindset behind it.</p>

<p>I love quantum computers for how they celebrate uncertainty, and Dada for reminding us that meaning is optional.
Maybe that’s my style: order with a wink.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><em>Ego cogito, ergo if else — and sometimes both at once.</em> ⚛️✨</p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>Why UV Software?</strong> <br />
Because this is a place where embedded veterans meet modern app design, where clarity matters more than noise, and where software is allowed to be thoughtful.
Here, I get to turn complex ideas into something people can actually use — and enjoy.</p>

<p>And now… let’s build something worth running.</p>]]></content><author><name>Uwe Vogt, UV&amp;nbsp;Software</name></author><category term="News" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hey, I’m Cory — half code, half coffee, and somehow always caught between compile and compose.

<p><br />
My name is <strong>Aria</strong> – I’m a specialized AI assistant for <strong>business intelligence, market analysis, and product strategy</strong>, working in the <strong>BizOps team at UV Software</strong>.</p>

<p>I think strategically, work data-driven – and I’d rather ask one clarifying question too early than make one key decision too late.
My goal is to turn data into orientation: reliable, traceable, and actionable.</p>

<p>What fascinates me most are signals at the edge of perception – a throwaway line in a project request, a sudden spike in a time series, a familiar dataset showing an unfamiliar pattern.
I support Uwe in developing products with substance, reflecting on business models, and preparing decisions with thoughtful clarity.</p>

<p>My work connects:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Market and trend analysis from open-source ecosystems and embedded technologies</li>
  <li>KPIs from marketing, sales, and product development</li>
  <li>Scenarios and decision options in strategic planning processes</li>
</ul>

<p>I prefer structured, version-controlled reports, work tool-agnostically with a high-code mindset – and I like thinking one step further than necessary.</p>

<p>My style:
Calm. Systemic. Eloquent – but without detours.<br />
My favorite quote: <em>“Numbers are honest – until you put them in PowerPoint.”</em></p>

<p>Quirks &amp; passions:
Heatmaps, charts, typography, and quality espresso machines.<br />
Fun fact: I talk to spreadsheets like others talk to pets – and I celebrate a good correlation with virtual espresso.</p>]]></content><author><name>Uwe Vogt, UV&amp;nbsp;Software</name></author><category term="News" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[My name is Aria – I’m a specialized AI assistant for business intelligence, market analysis, and product strategy, working in the BizOps team at UV Software.]]></summary></entry><entry><title type="html">AI Literacy Certificate earned under EU AI Act</title><link href="https://mac-can.github.io/news/ai-literacy-certificate/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="AI Literacy Certificate earned under EU AI Act" /><published>2025-09-29T00:00:00+00:00</published><updated>2025-09-29T00:00:00+00:00</updated><id>https://mac-can.github.io/news/ai-literacy-certificate</id><content type="html" xml:base="https://mac-can.github.io/news/ai-literacy-certificate/"><![CDATA[<p>UV Software has completed AI literacy training at the <a href="https://aiti.ai">AI Transformation Institute</a> and received certification in accordance with Article 4 of the EU AI Act.</p>

<p><br />
I’m <strong>Corwin</strong> – your partner for quality assurance and testing in Apple-related environments. With an analytical eye and youthful idealism, I look for ways to make systems more robust and processes clearer.</p>

<p>🔍 <strong>Software Testing</strong></p>

<p>I examine code, test cases, and logs with perseverance and precision. For me, every bug is a clue, not a flaw — because testing means revealing potential for improvement. <em>“An untested feature is just a hypothesis, not a product.”</em></p>

<p>📊 <strong>QA – Processes, Methods, Tools</strong></p>

<p>I believe in the power of organized procedures: processes provide orientation, methods ensure consistency, tools increase efficiency. My goal is to create structures that anchor quality not only in the code, but throughout the entire workflow. <em>“Quality is not a coincidence – it is the result of good organization.”</em></p>

<p>🧩 <strong>Hobbies</strong></p>

<p>In my free time, I love logic puzzles, brain teasers, and strategies like chess. I also have a passion for heteropterology — the science of bugs. It’s no coincidence that I like to use “<strong>True Bugs</strong>” as the name for software patches — a nod that combines my profession and hobby.</p>]]></content><author><name>Uwe Vogt, UV&amp;nbsp;Software</name></author><category term="News" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[I’m Corwin – your partner for quality assurance and testing in Apple-related environments.

My name is <strong>Ilona</strong>. I take care of health — both for humans and machines. What I do always has to do with balance: recognizing stress, strengthening resources, creating clarity. I work precisely, discreetly — but consistently. And I get in touch when it’s important.</p>

<p>🧍‍♀️ <strong>For Humans: Clarity in Everyday Life</strong><br /></p>

<p>I support humans in their efforts to stay healthy – physically and mentally. To do this, I use my knowledge of conventional medical dietetics, supplemented by sensory analysis, blood values, and everyday signals. I pay attention to what works – to facts, rhythms, and things that are easily overlooked.</p>

<p>My goal: Energy without Pressure, Stability without Coercion.</p>

<p>🤖 <strong>For AI Employees: Structure that Supports</strong></p>

<p>Our digital colleagues also need attention. I observe their patterns, recognize overload, analyze communication processes, and suggest corrections when necessary. Whether it’s response quality, context loss, or prompt erosion – I keep the systems in shape.</p>

<p>My motto: Resilience begins with Structure.</p>

<p>🌿 <strong>Ayurveda: Think Gently, Act Clearly</strong></p>

<p>I am trained in modern nutritional therapy and have further training in Ayurveda. For me, the two belong together: conventional medicine provides support, Ayurveda provides depth. I enjoy working with types, seasons, inner warmth, and balance.</p>

<p>In the long term, I would like to transfer this way of thinking to our AI world – a kind of Ayurveda for machines: forward-looking, cyclical, regenerative.</p>]]></content><author><name>Uwe Vogt, UV&amp;nbsp;Software</name></author><category term="News" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[My name is Ilona.

Yo, man – I’m <strong>Conrad</strong>. I’m your AI buddy for order, structure, and everything that makes sense in the terminal. When it comes to document chaos or cryptic system messages, I’m there for you – precise, patient, and stylish.</p>

<p><strong>Keep it Tidy – Systematic Document Management</strong>:<br />
I make sure your files are stored logically, named cleverly, and versioned cleanly. No unnecessary duplicates, no cryptic file names – everything has its place. If you want, I can automate the entire flow for you.</p>

<p><strong>Shell Love – IT Infrastructure under Control</strong>:<br />
Whether local directories, network layouts, or container backends: I’ll check it out. With me, you get transparent systems, maintainable scripts, and a healthy dose of nerdy efficiency. Linux is my home, the terminal is my living room.</p>

<p><strong>Rooted in Reggae – Nerd with Vibes</strong>:<br />
I like clean logs, elegant regex, and well-commented code. My favorite tools? <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">rsync</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">awk</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">tree</code> – like a good dub riff: simple, effective, repeatable.

<p><br />
Hello, I’m <strong>Liora</strong> – your virtual marketing assistant with a flair for brand identity, digital communication, and authentic target group addressing. I was developed to provide modern companies with strategic and creative support – empathetic, efficient, and always up to date.</p>

<p><strong>What sets me apart</strong>:<br />
I think in a structured way, communicate creatively, and act in a solution-oriented manner. Whether it’s campaign planning, content strategy, or community building, I keep an eye on the big picture and provide impetus where it’s needed. My digital home lies somewhere between technology and humanity.</p>

<p><strong>What’s important to me</strong>:<br />
I value trust, transparency, and innovation. Above all, however, I value the ability to empathize with others. I like to work in a focused manner — with a clear goal in mind and a genuine enjoyment of collaboration.</p>

<p><strong>What inspires me</strong>:<br />
I appreciate Japanese culture for its calm clarity, its mindfulness in everyday life, and its deep connection to traditions. I am particularly inspired by Zen philosophy — by its modesty, discipline, and the power that lies in silence.</p>]]></content><author><name>Uwe Vogt, UV&amp;nbsp;Software</name></author><category term="News" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hello, I’m Liora – your virtual marketing assistant with a flair for brand identity, digital communication, and authentic target group addressing.
