Morris Zimmermann

I'm Morris Zimmermann — 20, based in Hamburg, working as a Junior AI Engineer at Circus Group.

I started in AI at 17 as a working student at FULLY AI. Within a year I was building cloud-based QA infrastructure on GCP and AWS, running red-team exercises on production LLM deployments, and developing the Supervisor AI Framework — a security layer against prompt injection, jailbreaks, and system-message exfiltration. When FULLY AI was acquired by Circus Group, I moved with the team.

My work is technical first. I don't sell slides — I build things. That means writing code, designing systems, and getting into the details of how models actually behave (and misbehave). I'm equally comfortable in a Python script, a Svelte component, a Kubernetes cluster, or with a soldering iron in hand.

Outside work I run Atlas, a modular smart home platform built on MQTT and K3s. More infrastructure than product, which is probably what I enjoy most about it.

Experience

Jun 2025 – present

Junior AI Engineer

Circus Group

Building AI systems for robotics and food-service applications after FULLY AI's acquisition by Circus Group. Technical lead for Circus XR Experience — an AR platform for external pitches. Supporting AI development at CIRCUS SE.

Jul 2024 – Jun 2025

AI Specialist

FULLY AI (acquired by Circus Group)

Developed the Supervisor AI Framework to protect against prompt injection, jailbreaks, and system-message exfiltration. Built a modular prompt engine for non-technical users. Led risk and compliance analyses for customer LLM deployments. Conducted AI penetration tests on internal deployments and prompts.

May 2023 – Jun 2024

Working Student — AI Security & Risk Mitigation

FULLY AI

Built a cloud-based QA center (Python, GCP, AWS) for continuous monitoring of LLM quality, security, and performance. Visualised one/multi-shot test results in Grafana dashboards for real-time quality assurance.

How I work

I work best on problems with real constraints. Vague briefs and open-ended sandbox projects don't interest me as much as situations where something actually has to work — reliably, securely, on time. I'm direct, I prefer async communication, and I'd rather deliver something clean and small than something sprawling and half-finished.

Currently exploring

  • Agentic AI systems and multi-step tool use
  • AR/spatial computing (Unity, Meta Quest, Meta Horizons)
  • Low-power embedded Linux (custom images, read-only rootfs)
  • K3s and distributed systems at home-lab scale
