About Me

I enjoy being, and I enjoy making things. Over time, my tinkering has grown into bigger, more complex projects. At the same time, most of these projects happen in the back of my mind and the actual implementation is only the last small step. When I need something, I often find I can build it myself—and sometimes it’s done in half a day. Writing about a project can take longer than making it, so 99.98% of the things never become blog posts. Like really. I build something every second day. Sometimes in between breakfast and my way to the office.

Lately, I’ve been especially excited about my research work.

Current Projects

BeyondVoxels
BeyondVoxels
A joint project of the University of Passau, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, and Fraunhofer IIS to make analysis of massive 3D CT datasets faster. Its hierarchical wavelet-based access method aims to reduce processing time and memory use on standard hardware, while connecting preprocessing, machine-assisted image recognition, and visualization in one pipeline.
Fraunhofer Project Page
Nova
Nova
NOVA (Networked Organization & Visualization Assistant) is an AI-assisted work and research protocol that turns project knowledge into a living, searchable network. Use it as a standalone desktop workspace or alongside an AI-enabled IDE to connect decisions, evidence, experiments, and implementation history.
