About me
Bremen
Since October 2024 I've been studying Automation Engineering in a dual work-study program. I learn the theory at Hochschule Bremen and spend my practical phases at KUKA.
AI-assisted engineering
I use coding agents like Claude Code and Codex heavily for implementation. I focus on the engineering around it: requirements, system design and architecture, experiments, debugging, integration, and validating whether the system actually works.
Now
As of Oct. 2026in progress
reBot Arm B601-RS robot arm
My current project. I'm training the arm on physical AI tasks: computer vision and path planning, built with ROS 2, MoveIt and RViz2. That includes getting from the real arm into simulation and back again: Real2Sim and Sim2Real.
As of Oct. 2026in progress
Sesame Robot with reinforcement learning
I'm building a Sesame Robot and training it with reinforcement learning. The double pendulum at the top of this page was the start. Now it moves from simulation to a real robot. This keeps running alongside the robot arm.

Helpy
An assistant that watches an expert work, listens to their narration and asks about decisions at natural pauses. The session becomes a Work Map of steps, rules and reasons. A new colleague then practices with it, and mistakes get caught before saving. Screenshots are OCR'd and redacted right in the browser. Started at Hack-Nation 7.
A Dynamic Island for the Windows desktop. A small capsule at the top of the screen shows my Claude Code and Codex usage, music, a focus timer, meetings and system health. It reads the tools' local logs, sends nothing to the cloud and idles at 55 MB and 0.03 % of one CPU core. The code is open source.
Started at the Smart Region Hackathon Offenburg. A platform where utilities, municipalities and contractors coordinate roadworks. It shows conflicts before the same street gets dug up twice. After the hackathon I kept building: an AI reads requests from PDFs or free text and pre-fills the form, approvals work through a link without an account, plus a map and a landing page.
Three automations for small businesses. Extract invoices from PDFs and check that the line items actually add up to the total. Sort incoming emails and prepare replies as drafts, never send them automatically. Track prices and stock in online shops that have no API. When the AI isn't sure, a human decides.

A hackathon write-up: camera-to-robot calibration with AprilTags from 20 poses, grasping with ROS 2 and MoveIt, sorting objects by their height, and the computer vision part that did not make it into the demo.
A native Windows status capsule built with .NET 10 and WinUI 3: a fixed-size transparent window, spring morphs, event-driven providers that read local usage logs, and an idle cost measured in milliseconds.
A hackathon project that records an expert's workflow, asks for the reasoning behind decisions and turns it into a Work Map, with a guided practice mode that catches mistakes before they are saved.
