David Seyser

My path hasn't been a straight line. For eight years, I worked as a Mechanical Engineer, focusing on the precision of machines and systems. Later, my curiosity led me into Machine Learning research, exploring the possibilities of autonomous logic.

While I've spent much of my career in labs and academia, I recently found a different kind of fulfillment away from the screen. Building a garden bed with my family reminded me that technology is at its best when it serves something tangible and living. I realized that my technical background shouldn't just build more abstract systems; it should help our cities breathe.

I'm interested in the idea of Architecture as a Shared Habitat. I believe buildings should be more than just places where we work or live—they should be part of the local ecosystem. This means looking at how we can integrate nature into the very skin of our cities.

Ultimately, I want to help build a version of Vienna where nature isn't just a decoration, but a resident. I'm looking for ways to use my experience in engineering and AI to create a legacy that lives on through the sound of birds nesting in our city.
