About Me

Hi there! I'm a passionate developer from Germany who loves creating digital experiences and exploring the intersection of software and hardware.

What I Do

My primary focus is building mobile applications with Flutter. I've had the exciting experience of publishing my own apps to the app stores, which taught me not just about development, but also about the entire product lifecycle from concept to deployment and user feedback. Beyond mobile development, I'm deeply involved in backend development and always keep my finger on the pulse of emerging technologies. I'm particularly excited about exploring cutting-edge trends like MCP (Model Context Protocol) and how they're shaping the future of software architecture.

My Secret Passion

When I'm not coding apps or APIs, you'll find me tinkering with microelectronics. Working with Arduino boards and various sensors has become my secret hobby – there's something incredibly satisfying about bridging the gap between the digital and physical world. This passion has led me down the path of learning embedded software engineering, combining my love for software with hands-on hardware projects.

Community Involvement

I believe in giving back to the developer community, which is why I organize a Google Developer Group. It's incredibly rewarding to bring together fellow developers, share knowledge, and create a space where we can all learn from each other's experiences and projects. Whether I'm debugging Flutter widgets, optimizing backend performance, or figuring out why my Arduino project isn't working as expected, I'm always excited about the next challenge and the opportunity to learn something new.

What this website is about

To hold me accountable for my side projects and to finish what I started, I created this documentation style website. Under Projects you'll be able to follow my projects progress and also read documentation about what I did and how.
