ABOUT

BRUNSWICK, GER

I’m interested in the systems behind the things we use
and in understanding, designing, and building them across software and hardware.

As a Computer Science student, I build complete systems, from software and interfaces to infrastructure, embedded computing, and physical products. What interests me most is how the pieces of a system fit together: how software is structured, how components interact, and how different technologies can be combined into something reliable, useful, and well designed.

Journey

A timeline of what I’ve studied, built, explored and how each project pushed me into something new.

  1. The beginning / Computer Science

    Started Studying

    Built the technical foundation behind my work in programming, algorithms, databases, and computer systems.

  2. Next / iOS Development

    From Learning to Building

    Moved from coursework into product development by building interfaces and applications with Swift.

  3. Building Products

    IGNITE & CLOCKWISE

    Building complete applications moved my focus beyond writing code alone toward product structure, interface design, usability, and how different parts of a system work together.

  4. Beyond Applications

    HOME SERVER

    Built and now operate a self-hosted Linux environment for media, cloud services, networking, and automation.

  5. Professional Work / Confidential

    SYNDEXUS

    Worked within an established software project and experienced collaborative development under real-world constraints.

  6. 2026 / Now

    Building THE CUBE

    Bringing software, embedded computing, electronics, product design, and local AI into one physical system.

Still learning through building
