Welcome to my website!
Have a look at some of my coding projects, or things I’ve built. Many of my coding projects are also available on my GitHub, and some of my physical projects are available on Thingiverse.
If you’re interested in my professional history, you can have a look at my CV or my profile on LinkedIn or XING. If you just want to play around, why not check out the pages with interactive content!
Next to portfolio and CV, I also write some small tech posts here, mostly stuff that I would have been glad to have found with Google. I am also hosting the Landing Page as well as the Dashboard for the course Scientific Programming in Python here.

The Palapian's Spaceship
An interactive, networked spaceship you can actually board: players complete (or sabotage) missions across a dozen physical interfaces - buttons, joysticks, LED boards, sensors, etc - to either launch the ship or doom it, with everything driven by a Python/ESP/Unity stack. It’s modular, auto-resets regularly, and scales to festival crowds without manual babysitting.

Tux-Kart with Real-Life Powerups
Festival Installation where two people play OSS-Mariokart, but instead of Koopas the in-game items squirt water or fog at the opponent or hit with the Poolnudelschlagapparat.

CAD & 3D-Printing
Having learned my ways on Thesesus’ Anet A8 and now running a boringly reliable Bambu P1S, I use 3D printing and self-taught CAD as basic infrastructure for most of my hardware projects, some of which are listed here.
