Patrick Bassner

I built and scaled Yunite to 10M+ users on Discord — acquired by Gankster in 2023.

Now I architect distributed systems and AI-powered products for teams that need to ship fast and scale hard.

Services

How we can work together

From embedded engineering to AI products and live operations.

Service 01

🛠️

Software engineering & scalability

Embed with your team to architect, build, and scale distributed systems that handle real-time load.

Architecture across TypeScript, Java, Python, and Go.
Real-time systems, event-driven pipelines, and low-latency APIs.
Kubernetes orchestration, observability, and CI/CD.

Service 02

🧠

AI engineering & intelligent automation

From prototype to production-grade AI — with evaluation built in from day one.

LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, and autonomous agents.
Evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
End-to-end implementation — I write the code, not just the strategy.

Service 03

🎥

Live production & broadcast direction

Technical direction and crew orchestration for live events and esports broadcasts.

Run-of-show planning and remote crew coordination.
vMix/OBS pipelines, motion graphics, and low-latency comms.
Custom tooling for automated tournament operations.

About

Engineer, founder, researcher

Software engineer and SaaS founder based in Munich.

I'm a software engineer and SaaS founder based in Munich. I built and operated Yunite through its growth to millions of users and acquisition by Gankster. I hold a doctoral research position at TUM, where my work on AI for CS education sharpens how I approach evaluation, automation, and system design.
