(Translated by ChatGPT 3.5)

I am a freelance engineer based in Leipzig and develop software and hardware primarily for artistic and scientific projects. My studies and initial positions as a research associate and software engineer focused on image and signal processing, technical planning of camera systems, and later project management and team leadership. At the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, I was able to establish the Interactive Media Workshop to support student projects with technical requirements such as interactive installations, computer games, and more. Additionally, I conducted courses and workshops on programming interactive content, using sensors, microcontrollers, single-board computers, and electronics. Since then, I have been working for and with various artists, institutions, and other clients, as well as on my own projects.
