I build low-power, radio-connected things — firmware, protocols, architectures that have to survive without supervision. Off the keyboard I'm usually on rock, on a bike, or at the stove.
I've spent a decade in the embedded world, designing software that has to be small, lean, and never crash — across radio protocols, Real-Time OS, bare-metal firmware, and the system architecture around them.
These days I lead a team building IIoT products for hostile environments — railway infrastructure, trackside sensors, and remote monitoring systems. I care about clear interfaces, durable systems, and engineers who own what they ship. Formally: B.Sc. Electrical Engineering, M.Sc. Computer Science. ( Full CV )
"Every problem is just a decomposition away."
The mountains give me what the terminal can't: weather, gravity, and an opinion that doesn't negotiate. I climb trad and sport, boulder when I can't, and plan longer alpine routes in the Wetterstein and Karwendel ranges. Route-reading is the same skill as debugging — you observe, you hypothesise, you commit.
— "The mountain doesn't care if you're tired."
Road biking is how I think. Local loops along the Isar for maintenance, bigger passes for the real meditation — Timmelsjoch, Stelvio, Grossglockner. Powered only by my own legs, navigating weather and terrain, pacing the effort: it turns out I can hold a problem in my head for eight hours if I'm pedalling through it.

I cook and bake mostly vegan — from everyday bowls to obsessive pizza dough and bread experiments. The ethics matter (fewer beings hurt, lighter footprint), but honestly plant cooking is also the more interesting constraint: flavours have to be built, textures have to be earned.

The photography is mostly a side effect of the other hobbies — wildlife on travel, mountain huts, rides at dawn. I shoot to remember, and occasionally to share. The archive lives below.
A small selection from travels — from the cloud forests of Costa Rica to the north ridge of the Zugspitze. Full sets by region on request.
