Karlsruhe · currently tinkering
Hi, I’m Jan.
I like making things.
I studied Industrial Engineering at KIT. Lately I’ve been spending most of my time on hardware projects, automation, and a couple of communities in Karlsruhe.
Let’s talk
A few numbers for context.
Some projects
A few things
I’ve worked on.
Built · ESP32 · Raspberry Pi
Sensor & display
prototypes
Breadboard setups that read sensors, process the data, and show it on small displays.
In development · embedded
Desktop
Companion
A desktop device I’m developing around local sensors, external APIs, and a custom interface.
Community · Karlsruhe
Young Founders
Network
I co-initiated and lead the Karlsruhe chapter. More than 100 people have joined our events and formats. I’m currently planning future formats and partnerships with Codex, JetBrains, and local collaborators.
Elsewhere
Lab and apps.
Two separate sites for smaller experiments and tools.

Curious, on purpose.
The short
version.
I spent two years in energy infrastructure coordinating grid connections for utility-scale battery storage. I learned a lot there, and also realized that I want my career closer to the thing being built.
Now I’m learning more about embedded systems, automation, and AI. On the side, I organize YFN Karlsruhe, plan formats as a Codex Ambassador, and run a year-round cold-water group.
