Freelance & Contract

Software, games and AI systems, built end to end.

I'm Marc Kletz - a developer in Linz, Austria, with a decade of programming behind me and five years building games and tools professionally. I can take a project from concept to a working, shipped product, or work with existing code bases - reworking them, hunting down bugs and adding features.

What I do

Services

Game Development

Full-cycle Unity and C# for PC, mobile and VR. Gameplay systems, player controllers, combat and boss fights, animation setups, UI and custom tooling.

Software Engineering

C#, Python, C++ and Java. Automation, data pipelines, and the integrations - REST APIs, backends, third-party SDKs and full software stack.

AI and Agent Systems

Chatbots, LLM-powered applications and agent platforms: tool integration, prompt and context engineering, retrieval over your own knowledge, and the safety layer - permissions, approvals, audit and cost control.

Web Development

Fast, clean sites and web apps, front to back. A static page like this one, or a full application with a real API behind it.

Serious Games and Gamification

Training, education and simulation built as games - for companies, schools and institutions.

Consulting and Workshops

Architecture and technical leadership for your project, plus hands-on workshops on gamification, game design, or AI safety training.

Selina - an AI agent platform I built and run

Since April 2026 I have been building and running Selina, my own agent harness - a system that gives a language model tools and lets it do work on a machine.

Selina is a personal research and development project - currently just a proof of concept. But it is the same shape of system that companies now want to run internally, and I have built every layer of it end to end. That means I can build the same kind of system for you, customized to your requirements.

Selina's interface: a live session with the agent's thinking in the centre, a question card on the right asking for a decision before it acts, and the task list on the left.

EU AI Act

AI training and compliance

The EU AI Act is already in force, in stages. Since 2 February 2025, employers have had to show that the staff who use AI systems are trained on them - contractors included. Since 2 August 2026, AI-generated content has to be disclosed. Higher-risk systems carry documentation, testing and incident-reporting duties that step in through 2027 and 2028. For most companies the practical question is simple: who trains the team, and how is it proven?

Detecting Staves and Measures in Music Scores with Deep Learning

Master's thesis - WoRMS 2021, Alicante

My master's research, co-authored with Alexander Pacha (TU Wien) and published in the proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Reading Music Systems. A deep-learning approach to finding a score's structural elements - staves, measures and system measures - trained and evaluated across two public datasets.
Read it on arXiv.

Neural Snake

Personal project - C# / Unity - 2021

A neural network written from scratch, no library, evolved with a genetic algorithm until it learns to play Snake: hand-designed fitness, a breeding scheme, and a feed-forward pass implemented line by line.
