Engineering things.
Gathering people.
I’m Jan, an Industrial Engineering student at KIT working where hardware, AI, and ambitious communities overlap.
Let’s talk
A few numbers behind the bio.
Selected work
Things worth
making.
Embedded · AI · E-Ink
AI E-Ink
Note Taker
Low-power capture that turns speech into structured notes and syncs them across the tools I actually use.
ESP32 · TinyML
Vision on
the edge
Image, audio, and motion models running locally on tiny, resource-constrained hardware.

Young Founders
Network
I founded the local chapter and grew it with a sharp team, real events, and partners from OpenAI to Bosch.

Curious, on purpose.
From grids
to gadgets.
I spent two years in energy infrastructure coordinating grid connections for utility-scale battery storage. Useful, high-stakes work – and a very good way to learn that I want my career closer to the thing being built.
Now I’m going deeper into embedded systems, automation, and AI. On the side, I bring people together: founders, Codex builders, and a surprisingly committed group of year-round cold swimmers.
