Projects

A digital self-management platform that lets Bremerhaven's independent art and culture scene borrow equipment from the local cultural office — from a concept developed during my studies to a Payload CMS platform in active development.

How I built the prototype of a self-coded, SEO-optimized, multilingual website for a Bremerhaven vacation-rental provider — a learning project on direct marketing, technical SEO, and internationalization.

How a box full of aluminum profiles, motors and electronics became a 1500 × 1500 mm CNC machine for Bremerhaven’s makerspace.

How the idea of a chatbot on a digital typewriter turned into an ESP32-controlled ASCII art printer — with keyboard-matrix reverse engineering, NPN transistors, and images made from nine characters.

How a 5-meter LED strip, an ESP8266, and open-source software became a music-reactive light element for Novum Kollektiv events.

Rebuild and complete wiring of a network cabinet in an office building in Bremerhaven — with Cat-7 cabling, patch panels, and WiFi integration.

How the first version of my portfolio website came about in the summer of 2024: with Jekyll, Dogado hosting, and a design of M PLUS Code Latin, Bebas Neue, black, and orange — the predecessor of the site you’re reading right now.

How, with the Novum Kollektiv, we got a permanent space in Bremerhaven in December 2023, tested a funded event series — and in the end deliberately decided against taking it over.

A MIDI-controllable steel tongue drum that translates digital music commands into acoustic sound with the help of microcontrollers, solenoids, and mechanics.

In the winter of 2022/2023 I spent several months on a FabFarm near Lagos in the Algarve — part of a six-month journey from Portugal through Morocco to Bilbao. Between water tanks, solar panels, and a makerspace, the Aqua-Man project came about there: a solar-powered water-level sensor with ESP8266 and Home Assistant.

How I founded a creative collective with two fellow students, built a brand, and spent months searching for a space for a club in Bremerhaven.

How a five-person student team developed a card game, financed it via Startnext, and successfully marketed it on a lean budget.
