From Founder to Guide
I'm Matthias Walter. Together with my business partner, I co-founded CYCL AG in 1999. Over 20 years, we grew the company to 50 people, building infrastructure, custom software, and SaaS products in the modern workplace space, including solutions built on SharePoint.
We successfully exited to LiveTiles, an ASX-listed company. That journey taught me what it takes to build, grow, and scale software businesses. Now I'm applying that experience to help Swiss SMBs navigate the biggest shift in software development since the cloud: AI-assisted coding.
My Stack
Primary Tool: Claude Code by Anthropic
I work directly with Claude Code - Anthropic's terminal-native AI coding tool. No wrappers, no middlemen, direct access to the most capable reasoning model available.
Why Claude Code?
200K token context window handles real codebases. Terminal-native means zero bloat. Built by the team that understands the model best. When Anthropic ships new capabilities, I get them immediately - not weeks later when some wrapper catches up.
Why Swiss SMBs?
Swiss businesses have unique needs: quality expectations, data privacy concerns, and a preference for practical solutions over hype. I understand these needs because I've built my career serving this market.
AI coding tools are powerful, but they're not magic. Business leaders need a trusted guide who can separate the signal from the noise and help them make smart decisions about technology investments.
