Who am I?

I am a creator, a thinker and a problem solver.
Also, I’m funny sometimes.

My main focus, as an engineer, is hardware and software design, including research and development, as well as prototyping.

Are you looking for an enthusiastic expert in the field of electronics?
You have found one right here.

Check out my skills below and do not hesitate to contact me, if this page did not answer all your questions.

Attitude

I do believe in “first principle thinking” and I am not afraid to learn ‒ quite the opposite.
If there is anything I should point out about myself, it would be that I believe in the power of the right mindset. Negativity was never my thing, however I am no naïve rookie either.

You can find a short summary of how I view my skills down below.

If you feel like you need more context, do not hesitate to check my posts in the “Projects” section or just contact me directly.

If you are looking for a very specific skill or experience that did not make the cut to this introduction page, do not worry and just ask ‒ I will be more than happy to answer.

Why little mad ?

“Many people called me mad.
Out of my mind at certain point.
Some even called me crazy.
But never stupid!”

“A bit crazy you say?
That is why I use ECC RAM.”

Simply: “Why not?”
