# Martin Förtsch
Software developer exploring the realities of AI, deepfakes, and prompt engineering.

## About

Martin Förtsch builds software and emerging tech demos at TNG Technology Consulting. While his foundation is in Java and agile development, he spends much of his time exploring the practical realities of artificial intelligence, IoT, and 3D cameras.

His recent presentations examine both the mechanics and the societal impact of modern AI. He has mapped out how deepfakes and LLMs manipulate public sentiment during elections, and he regularly teaches engineers the mechanics of prompt optimization.

Martin is recognized as an Intel Black Belt Developer and an Oracle JavaOne Rockstar.
