Summary

Hi! I am an engineer, economist, and self-taught software developer. After working as an economist at a multinational company, I returned to engineering and am pursuing an MSc in Environmental, Process and Energy Engineering at MCI Innsbruck, focusing on hybrid membrane technology, CFD and practical process engineering challenges in the industrial automation industry. I like to be busy in my free time and I always find ways to improve myself.

Current projects

Linecept

Linecept canvas timeline with chat sidebar

This summer I joined my friend David to help build Linecept, a project management platform that puts visualization first. We believe you can only oversee a process if you can actually see it. Timelines, boards, and cards make the work readable at a glance.

Outsider Skis

Outsider Skis logo centered on a topographic dark background

I've been skiing since I was three. With conditions changing so fast on the mountain, I sometimes have to come down midday just to switch skis. With Outsider Skis, we believe there's a better way: always having the right skis for the conditions you're in.

Bioversee

Bioversee dashboard: bioreactor schematic, pump and agitator controls, and temperature and pH charts

The original idea came when I had to work with a bioreactor manufactured in the 1970s by a former professor. I thought I could create a modern, user-friendly control panel and connect it to this old machine.

Smart Grid Simulator

Smart Grid Simulator — main view

Right now the Smart Grid Simulator behaves more like a lightweight game than a production control tool. The goal is to evolve it into a practice environment for engineering students: it explains core smart-grid concepts and gives rough estimates of build-out cost and operating revenue.
