About Me

TravelJoggingPadelGamingCoffeeFood

I write code to help designers bring their ideas to life.

There's something deeply satisfying about transforming a static design into something interactive and alive. During my IoT studies at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, I discovered my passion for working at the intersection of design and development. I focus on building prototypes because they unlock a product's true potential. When users can actually feel and engage with an idea, it reveals both unexpected opportunities and critical issues that only real interaction can discover.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me planning my next travel adventure, clearing my mind with a jog, playing a competitive match of padel, or unwinding with some gaming.
