free/libre software, open data, open standards activist with a grudge against big tech, big IP holders and authoritarian governments.
I'm actively trying to stop the suffering of the animals and the global collapse of our ecosystem.
In addition I'm also a bicycle enthusiast. The bicycle is one of the most energy efficient ways of transportation and as far as I'm concerned the most fun way.

I spent the last decade with designing (konstruktion) drone related systems. As a trained lab assistant for biotechnology I wondered if certain data could be measured by a drone, a technology that emerged at the same time. I started building a tricopter that had a raspberry pi companion that was coupled with the multiwii autopilot so that I could take surveys with a simple one channel NIR to have a NDVI. I got hired by a local company that followed the same target and I spend mupltiple years there with UAS system design for agriculture like automatic fawn detection (mech system integration) , reliable trichogramma dispensers (mechanical principle and design) . I also designed a VTOL system (except the profiles) and took part in adapting autopilot funtions to a autonomous hovercraft. -Fun times-
I started my own company right after so I could work on a broader field including 3D-printing, a technology that helped a lot with protoyping previously. I got lost in a few projects but also developed my own copter platform. It got a little turbulent with drone regulations so it didn´t felt very safe to continue working on it.
The latest project is underbridge, a program that I needed myself and which seemed to be a game changer for a few people as well, so thats where I mostly spend my energy these days.
