Prototype engineering · AI workflows · R&D lab

From First-Principles Engineering to Production-Ready Software.

Bonovation is a prototype engineering consultancy and R&D lab. I architect custom AI workflows, scalable software systems, and apps for web and Android — from the first prototype through to production.

01 / Consulting & prototyping

From raw concept to running in production.

Fast, zero-bloat execution from raw concept to functional vertical slice or production deployment.

01

Rapid Prototype Engineering

Turning product concepts, interactive mechanics and software tools into testable MVPs — and hardening what proves itself for production.

  • Web
  • Android
  • Unity
  • Unreal Engine 5
02

Custom AI Workflows & Multi-Agent Pipelines

Practical, deterministic AI pipelines that solve real production bottlenecks — beyond chat wrappers, towards automated asset generation and simulation.

  • Multi-agent
  • Asset generation
  • Simulation
03

Self-Hosted & Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Resilient, sovereign backend architectures built on proven open-source tooling.

  • Docker
  • Linux
  • Relational databases
  • Open source

A prototype tests assumptions; it is not automatically a production-ready system. When it proves itself, I help take it there: stability, security, integration and operations.

02 / Built work

Not just ideas. Things that run.

Two live websites I built end to end — from the interface to the workflows behind it.

Website · Shop · Custom booking

Atelier Mondo

Website for a ceramic-painting studio on an alpaca farm. Visitors browse workshops and events, book a slot online and buy vouchers or take-home kits in the integrated shop. The studio manages bookings in a custom back office.

Website · Shop · Custom booking

Alpakamondo

Website for alpaca walks and experiences. Guests pick an experience, see open dates and book directly. The shop sells vouchers and alpaca products. Custom booking and management, on a codebase shared with Atelier Mondo.

Android apps

Four Android apps I designed and built entirely myself: three are in closed testing, one is being prepared for its Play Store release.

  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • Firebase
  • Self-hosted database
  • Sleep timer

    Sleepy

    Watch or listen until the timer runs out, without the phone playing on through the night.

    • Pauses playback, then puts the phone to sleep
    • Works with any app
    • Each permission can be granted individually

    In closed testing

  • Household chores

    NestTogether

    A chore app for households: share out what needs doing and earn rewards for the things you take care of.

    • Chores with rooms, schedules, assignees and reminders
    • Feathers as points, plus thank-you notes and hugs
    • One shared household for everyone who lives there

    In closed testing

  • Baby tracker

    Finn

    Track feeding and other activities, and share photos with your family.

    • Feeding, sleep and nappies logged with one tap
    • Entries and running timers shared across the family’s phones
    • Home-screen widget and a private family photo album

    In closed testing

    Screens show the German interface with demo data.

  • 3D archery scoring

    ArcheryApp

    Score rounds on 3D archery courses for the whole group on one phone, with every result counted in each archer’s own account.

    • Offline-first: works without reception and syncs later
    • Course map with ratings, photos and suggested changes
    • Friends, statistics and achievements

    Play Store release in preparation

    Play Store screenshots with German captions and demo data.

03 / Bonovation Lab

The R&D behind the consulting.

Bonovation Lab is where I try new tools and workflows on my own projects first: multi-agent AI pipelines, automated asset workflows and in-house prototypes. It is the working proof behind the consulting.

Inside the Lab — Latest Experiments & Devlogs

On the Bonovation Lab channel I show prototypes as they take shape and talk through new ways of working with AI — what holds up in practice and what does not.

04 / Work directly with me

Hi, I’m Daniel Bogenrieder.

Product manager & passionate developer

Daniel on LinkedIn (opens in a new tab)

I am a product manager who develops out of passion. I care about the problem behind an idea and about how a solution works for the people who use it.

Bonovation combines product thinking with hands-on development. UX is part of the thinking from the start. You work directly with me — from the first question to making sense of the results.

Understand the product. Think about use. Try the technology.

Before we work together

A few questions before the first hello.

Can I start without a finished idea?

Yes. A challenge or an existing process is enough as a starting point. Together we work out where the leverage could be and whether consulting, a prototype or another route makes sense.

How are scope and effort clarified?

The first conversation is free. In it we talk about the goal, the constraints and the open questions. A sensible scope follows from that. Concrete deliverables, effort and terms are agreed before any engagement begins.

How does the collaboration fit my team?

The knowledge about your business, your users and your existing systems stays central. At the start we clarify who can give feedback, which interfaces matter and how the work fits into your day-to-day.

What is handed over in terms of code and documentation?

Which source code, documentation, usage rights and handover steps belong to the engagement is agreed before we begin. Existing systems, licences and later maintenance are explicitly part of that conversation.

Is a prototype ready for production?

A prototype tests specific assumptions. Depending on the application, production use needs more: stability, security, data protection, integration and operations. These differences are made visible in the technical assessment, and I help with the step into production if you want to take it.

What matters with data and AI?

Data sources, access rights, confidentiality and technical limits have to fit the use case. For a first contact, a description of the challenge is enough. Please do not send confidential data or documents at first.

Your next step

Let’s work out what makes sense.

Briefly describe your challenge. The first conversation is free and takes about 30 minutes: we clarify the goal, the constraints and whether consulting, a prototype or the path to production fits best.
