- Background: Grew up in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Started with Minecraft servers and plugins, which sparked a lifelong curiosity for how things work.
- Current: Working as a professional Software Engineer.
- Philosophy: Software is about creating order from chaos, expressing ideas through structure, and building things that last. I believe in minimalism, iteration, and sharing what I learn.
- Teaching: Led workshops on Git and best practices, mentored apprentices, and advocate for open, accessible knowledge.
- MYP (Manage Your Printer): Enterprise printer management (Next.js, TypeScript)
- PromptLab: Modular prompt engineering tool (React, Radix UI, Tailwind CSS)
- Warp-Themes: Theme builder for Warp Terminal & VS Code
- HAFAS Station Monitor: Public transit dashboard
- Countless experiments, plugins, and web tools
When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading, writing, working out, or exploring new ideas. If you find inspiration or guidance here, that's all I could hope for.
