Where I Want to Go

Areas I'm deeply interested in and actively building toward

⚡ AI & Automation

I build AI-powered systems in my own time — local LLM inference, intelligent agents, automation pipelines. I want to do this professionally, not just on weekends.

📊 Personal Finance Intelligence

Financial data is messy, scattered, and underserved by good tooling. I'm building the system I wish existed — and I want to work in fintech where this thinking is valued.

🚢 Logistics Technology

Hamburg is one of Europe's biggest logistics hubs and the technology powering it is overdue for modernisation. Event-driven systems and real-time data pipelines are exactly what I build.

🎯 New Opportunities

After 9 years in aerospace software, I'm ready for a new challenge — engineering leadership at a product company where I can own outcomes, not just deliverables.

I dare you to try the Konami code.

A long time ago, in a server room far, far away…

 

The cloud empires grew powerful. AWS, Azure, GCP — their outages rippled across the galaxy, taking down startups, banks, and the occasional smart fridge.

 

But on a desk in Hamburg, a small device hummed quietly.

 

8 gigabytes of RAM. An NVMe SSD. A Hailo-10H neural accelerator capable of 40 trillion operations per second.

 

It asked for no subscription. It sent no data to the mothership. It simply… ran.

 

You are its last line of defence.

 

Incoming: a cascading Lambda timeout. A rogue S3 bucket policy. A DynamoDB throttle event.

 

Defend the Pi. Defend local compute. Defend the right to run your own stack.

 

May the uptime be with you.
