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
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 little desktop gadget I'm slowly putting together — local sensors, some APIs, a screen. Still figuring it out.
Community · Karlsruhe
Young Founders
Network
Started this with a couple of friends in 2024. It's turned into regular meetups with founders and builders around Karlsruhe — no pitch decks required.
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.
