I am a creative guy from Switzerland with many years of experience in software development and mechanical engineering. Ever since I was a child I loved to build devices with electrical components for fun. Since microcontrollers and 3d-printers got cheap and available for the masses, I got even more interested in hardware development.
The inspiration for new projects come from all the small things and interactions in daily life, which are not as perfect and smooth as they should be. Building devices is also a fun way to learn and understand technologies. I seek to make the projects not only functional but especially for my wife, I also try to give them beautiful and unique designs.
With this website, I try to pass some of my experience to you. I am happy if you got inspiration from a project on this site or learned something new.
My core values are:
- Open-mindedness 🤝
- Equality and Diversity 🏳️🌈
- Curiosity 🚀
- Quality 💎
