About
I develop new and complex products — from AI and robotics to bioprinting and power tools.
I’m currently working on the robotic manufacturing of bicycles using industrial robots and I am building a software factory for connecting machines to each other and to generative AI.
I develop and maintain packages to simplify developing hardware in TypeScript under the name Liminal Machines Co.
Besides project work, I teach Emerging Technologies and Prototyping at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and ABK Stuttgart.
I am open to contract work — if you have a challenge you are trying to solve, get in touch.
