Meet the team behind IsItGOLD?
Marcel Alexander Buth
The project 'IsItGOLD?' originated in 2020 from author and engineer Marcel A. Buth's idea to publish his books on the topic of 'Precious Metals: Identification and Recovery' in a digital, interactive format. With the rise of artificial intelligence as a cloud service, by 2023, there finally emerged a swift and affordable AI technology infrastructure to realize these plans. Marcel A. Buth invented products such as PC water cooling in the 1980s. Another of his inventions in the early 2000s was LED street lighting, a technology that has become a worldwide standard in everyday life. His work on patents in the 3D printing sector has been cited in doctoral theses decades later. Identifying the next technical trend and translating it into practical applications is the declared passion of this otherwise nature-loving and reclusive thinker.
Marvin Alexander Buth
Marvin Buth developed a passion for IT and programming at a very young age. He insisted until he received his first PC at the age of 10 - from a flea market. It didn't take long for the hardware to fall short of his demands, as Marvin had discovered programming. His journey included several milestones typical for his generation, such as being a Minecraft server admin, a YouTuber, and a freelance programmer. In 2020, he started as one of 2,000 programmers worldwide as an alpha tester and developer for the OpenAI project. At that time, GPT didn't even have a version number, and the world had virtually no knowledge of AI and GPT. After gaining further practical experience, for example, in the cryptocurrency department of a major bank and software startups in Berlin and Frankfurt, he began studying computer science at Goethe University in Frankfurt. Today, he leads the technical implementation of the 'IsItGOLD?' project, driving development forward with his extensive experience in the latest IT technologies. Aside from programming, electronic music is his great passion, and he is often encountered as a DJ at music events.
