Local dictation for macOS. Hold a hotkey, speak — text lands in the active app. 100 % offline via whisper.cpp, optional LLM polish. Open source, AGPL v3.
Maker, programmer and 8-bit computer fan from Leipzig.
I build small, fast, local-first software — and tinker with everything
from 3D printers to lasers.
Native macOS apps and web tools — free, and built by hand.

A menu-bar recorder for short screen clips. Pick a window or drag a region locked to a ratio, export MOV/MP4/GIF, send straight to your own n8n workflow — record → shareable link.
A fast image viewer for macOS. Double-click in Finder, arrow-key through the folder — no gallery, no library, no cloud. Zoom-to-cursor, GIF/WebP/APNG, EXIF → Maps.
An open-source project for early wildfire detection: a solar LoRa sensor mesh, a server-side risk engine and AI drones that verify alarms. Looking for collaborators, supporters and partners.
A browser extension (Manifest V3) that confuses trackers with random background browsing noise — it opens tabs, scrolls, clicks and searches on its own, so your real activity hides in the crowd. 100 % local, no telemetry.
Client and commercial projects — built by hand, not open source.
A handcrafted vanilla-JS single-page shop for curated vintage lamps. Shared-element View Transitions morph each lamp from the grid into its detail page; PHP + SQLite backend, Etsy sync, self-hosted ALTCHA (no captcha, no tracking). Lighthouse 99/100/100/100.
A breathing-exercise PWA. Say what you need — sleep, calm, focus — and get a tailored breath pattern to save and replay. Animated breath guide with phase-synced rings, streak & minutes stats, optional bring-your-own-AI. Installs to the home screen, fully offline.
Work in progress. A static one-pager for a flooring craftsman near Leipzig — replacing a WordPress install that had been dead since 2011. Full-bleed parallax wood, scroll-reveal animations, obfuscated email behind a native <dialog>. No CMS, no cookies, no tracking.
Outside freelance work, in my day job I help build and maintain larger platforms and internal tools:
Ongoing development of an HR diagnostics & analytics platform — surveys, reporting, PDF generation and automation.
Company website and trainer profiles — maintenance, updates and hosting.
A knowledge-sharing format and its web presence.
Need a site built, rebuilt or simply kept running? I take on commissions for businesses and self-employed.
Bespoke web apps and native macOS tools — built from scratch when off-the-shelf won't cut it.
New sites, relaunches and rebuilds of existing ones — fast, clean and maintainable.
Extensions, templates, content and upgrades for existing installations.
Page-builder and theme work: Avada / Fusion Builder and Elementor.
Online shops: setup, payment providers and product management.
Plugin selection and setup — and custom development when nothing off-the-shelf fits.
Technical advice, updates, backups, security and ongoing maintenance.
Fixed monthly care: updates, backups, monitoring and security checks.
Rescue for hacked or broken sites, plus a solid backup strategy.
Server setup, SSL, domains, mail — and moving sites between hosts.
I show your team how to maintain the content themselves.
Speed, caching and image optimization — Lighthouse scores that actually pass.
Technical SEO: sitemaps, metadata and clean, crawlable markup.
Consent banners, tracking cleanup and legally sound embeds.
Accessibility audits and fixes for the new EU requirements.
Workflows and integrations with n8n, Zapier and CRMs.
Between code and workshop — digital and physical.
PHP — Laravel, Livewire, Symfony — plus JavaScript, Python and Swift. A soft spot for small, local-first tools.
Workflows and integrations with n8n & Zapier.
Photogrammetry and object digitization.
FDM, materials and prototyping.
FDM systems, mechanics and tuning.
Wood, metal and creative engraving.
People, product and architecture.
Digital & analog, vector & sketch.
Graphics, layout and branding.
Born in 1978, grew up in East Germany. I started programming on a Robotron KC85-4 at the local youth club — and never really stopped.
Maker, thinker, motorcycle rider, 8-bit computer fan. Always curious, still tinkering — whether that's a piece of software, a 3D printer or a camera.
Questions, ideas, collaborations — drop me a line.
