a little bit about me

i’ve spent the last 8+ years designing and refining fluorescence.
as a former makerspace manager, i’ve led hands-on workshops in soldering, 3d printing, and laser cutting, in both german and english.
add three years of industry experience in production and r&d, and you’ve got someone who knows exactly how to turn ideas into real, working hardware — and can teach you how to do it too.
